| | Rust in the Cooling System
An engine has rust in the
antifreeze. The antifreeze looks very brown, and
water pump bearing keeps going out. There is not
an overflow tank (reservoir tank) on this
vehicle or it has been remove or damage. What
could be the problem. |
| | Solution:
Rust in the cooling system and antifreeze is
normally cause by air getting into the radiator
when the engine cools. As the coolant cools, it
shrinks. An overflow tank normally ha sufficient
coolant in it to keep the radiator full even at
cold temperatures. Without an overflow tank or
damage tank, air will be enter the cooling system
through the radiator cap. The rust in the coolant
also causes wear on the water pump seal and the
bearing. The best solution is to purchase an
overflow tank and install it on the cooling
system, after the cooling system as been service.
Keep the overflow tank filled to the mark shown on
the tank. |
