On my driver-side display, I got several warning lights on: "LOW COOLANT" and "STOP ENG" in red and "CHECK ENG" in yellow.
After some checking, I noticed my coolant recovery tank (grey plastic) has a big crack and is leaking.
I, therefore, was searching in this forum for replacement parts.
I am glad that I found this thread. The original plastic was a poor choice by design. We all know plastic tends to fail over time.
The aluminum or stainless replacement is a much better solution. Thank you!
I do have a couple of of questions.
1) There appear 2 coolant tanks on my 701 coach. The rectangular is made of metal, and the 8" round recovery tank is made of plastic. Both has a "add mark".
When you have to add coolant, which tank do you add into? The plastic recovery tank? Or both?
2) What type of coolant do you use? My 701 has Detroit 60 engine.
