Coolant Tank

After owning my t wgn for 6, or so, years and being very careful with the fragile tank and its connections--it failed.

That was on Monday night and noticed at a stop as steam was floating around. The diagnosis was easy and made before I got out of the car.

Made it home and on Tuesday morning had the car towed to the speed shop. This being the season for preparing race cars, I wasn't sure when they could get around to fabricating a new tank.

But, as Andy said, he didn't want to be juggling the wagon around the shop.

It took 4 hours, and it now has a competent tank and connections made out of aluminum.

And the dread of that thing failing is now gone.

For the past few years I had been talking to the guys about making a new tank.

But, it took the failure to make it happen.

The shop specializes in high-performance cars and is not set up to fabricate tanks at a competitive price.

They took the measurements from the existing tank and made it simpler and with less capacity--fitting in the original location.

I would take the plastic one to a metal shop that is set up for making a run of them.

Don't know how to post pics--sorry.
