Radiator Tank/Radiator cap

Got a leaking radiator end tank? That is a problem that you must never ignore! Otherwise, all the coolant in the system might leak out and you'll be left with no engine cooling-overheating will likely result, followed by possible engine damage. Unfortunately, leaking is a common problem among radiator end tanks. Most of these tanks are made from plastic material, and plastic is susceptible to various damaging elements. It can develop cracks because of extreme impacts and vibrations. Sometimes, too much heat in the system can melt it down. 

Different elements can cause different forms of damage on the tank. Hairline cracks, for instance, are not so serious and can be addressed using some type of super glue. Epoxy is another element that some drivers use in order to solve leaking problems among radiator end tanks. In some cases, car owners use duct tape as a temporary fix to a leak, although this is never designed to provide a permanent solution to the problem. Some tanks are made from stronger materials such as aluminum and copper or brass. If this is the case, the most common solution to punctures and cracks is soldering. However, despite the availability of these solutions, there are instances when none of them would work. If the damage has become irreparable, the best thing to do would be to get a new radiator end tank.
