Coolant Recovery System Description

Coolant Recovery Reservoir
A see-through plastic reservoir, similar to the familiar windshield washer reservoir, is connected to the radiator by a hose. The recovery reservoir collects coolant that expands with rising temperature and would otherwise overflow from the system. Coolant level should be at or above the COLD mark on the recovery reservoir when the system is cold.
