CDifficulty 3/5

A liquid-cooled lorry has an expansion tank marked MIN and MAX. When checked under manufacturer instructions, how should the level be?

Correct answer

Yes, and it must be between the maximum and minimum marks.

Between MIN and MAX under the manufacturer-specified temperature and parking conditions. Check regularly and do not fill to overflowing, because expansion space is needed. Do not open a hot pressurised circuit. Tank design and level references can vary between vehicles; not all always have two identical marks.
