My experience in expansion tanks could be written on a very small small thing and as such i have a question:

When filling your cooling system how do you do it and to what levels? I have the correct springless cap for Radiator and spring loaded for tank.

Thanks

:lol:

Half to three quarter fill the expansion tank and fill the radiator.
The radiator should alway remain full and the tank should stay roughly where it was filled to.

I never have to add anything to my 1100, it just stays in the same spot year in year out. :D

Once the cooling system is charged, you should only (if ever) need to top up the expansion tank.
