Expansion Tanks-Truck Range

The Expansion tank is a vital part of the engine cooling system. It allows for the coolant to expand whilst keeping it under pressure. In this state of pressurisation, the boiling point of the fluid is raised, limiting the evaporation and unwanted loss of coolant from the system.

In order to protect the tank from over pressure, expansion tanks are supplied with release valves that are integrated into the filler cap, preventing damage. Expansion tanks often include coolant level sensors, which provide a warning when the level needs topping up.

Over time, expansion tanks can become brittle. In this fragile state, the plastic can easily be penetrated, leading to the escape of coolant which in turn causes the system to fail.

febi bilstein Truck Division provides ‘ready to fit’ expansion tanks in OE matching quality, complete with caps. febi Truck expansion tanks are UV protected to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle. Precise measurements ensure easy installation and coolant level sensors are included where applicable.

For cost-effective repairs, expansion tank components are also available separately.
