Nothing to worry about, the installation is simple.
Thanks for your question, Peter. I measured the tank itself, and the dimensions are shorter than the length of the hose nip. A 10 inch tank, measuring 6 inches in length and width (including indexing buttons on the back side), 6 1/2 inches in height (including buttons), and 3 1/2 inches in width. Thank you. I hope this is helpful. Located right behind the firewall on the right side of the vehicle, the tank is on an "L" pad mounted to the firewall. The Bruce Hilton
There is no include hose with the purchase. Since it does not appear, if you are asking whether or not the hose has a lower out, there is one. This is the same one I bought in Jan 2015, and it's still doing a great job.
There is a hose connector for 5/8" ID tubing in that size

Over these years of ownership, you'll need a FEW of these bottles if you drive or own one of these classic original SUVs. The Dorman bottle looks like the OEM and comes with a pressure cap that is slightly improved, with brass and stainless internal plates and a conventional spring. The washer is made of durable neoprene, not This bottle comes with a "Limited Lifetime Warranty," so buying a few will save you a lot over the course of a few years! Considering how much it costs at Amazon, it's a great buy!* Owner/User The best way to ensure a perfect fit is to wrap a 2" diameter stainless steel heavy duty hose clamp around the cap.
Plastic on the rest of the end and the plastic on the ends looked like they were close to breaking apart. I found this to be a direct fit. The new one is more flexible than the old one, but when the engine is really hot, it bulges a bit. The fittings are well made, and I like how it also came with the In addition to seeing the coolant level without taking off the cap, it also lets me know when to replace the fluid! Jeep failure point is perfectly replaced by this product.
Our 1989 Cherokee with the straight 6 runs fine on it just as well as the original bottle, and then the one after that, and then another after that. So, they deserve 4 stars, as every bottle fails within a short period of time due to shrinkage of the neck and loss of coolant pressure. Could the problem be resolved if the inside of the bottle fill neck was reinforced with a metal band (maybe?) to keep it tight to the cap long term? I have no complaints with the product it is up to par with I would like to see an outfit become more concerned about the time proven problem. It is a big bummer when they fail when you are on the road.
I used it on my 1989 Jeep C-150 Comanche 4. It worked perfectly. Older generations of the 4 had coolant tanks. I usually leave my Jeep Comanche in the garage since it's in excellent shape, but so far, so good. Jeeps leak like sieves after a short time. My Comanche has been leaking like a sieve. Since these are thus cheap, you might as well keep a few available. It cost just $4 for four. With the closed cooling system, the 0 is looking pretty dated, and you never know when they will stop manufacturing them.
Basically the same as the part it replaced the cap can be difficult to screw on at times, but it does the job.
Despite fitting properly and not leaking, this part does not bother me. It is anticipated that it will last for four months I think it will take the same amount of time as the last one.
1987 Jeep Cherokee 4 - that's where I got it from. The letter L. Since I bought this Jeep 21 years ago, I have owned it for a couple of Over 300,000 miles have been put on this vehicle and it has proven to be extremely dependable. As far as the coolant reservoir is concerned, this is the only constant problem. There are six reservoirs in this vehicle, which is the minimum. At first, I got them from the dealer. But as soon as the dealer changed vendors, the cap fell off. Three of them were consumed in a year and I gave up trying. Later, I received an email with an after-dinner note I then modified a Volvo reservoir since it was very close to what I built. It lasted about two years and had to be replaced twice. I worked with it for about four years, but it suddenly stopped working when I was away. It let go after one or two years after I replaced it with another after market part. My first impression of this reservoir was that it feels and looks heavier than any other I have used before. This fitting is designed for use with in-market reservoirs, and it has a brass insert in the top fitting to prevent crushing of the plastic when you tighten the clamp. There is a positive fit between the cap and the reservoir. It screws on tight and seals well. We are now ready to start the time test.
The coolant tank on my 1987 Cherokee has cracked and been pinholed three times in the last 10 years due to cracks and corrosion. From the Jeep dealership were the first two. Also, three times I have replaced the cap, as some cap crack, or may not stay tight enough, or may not maintain pressure for very long. There is a cap on this tank and it appears to be well made. I like the fit of the cap, and it is able to be tightened down tightly. Because of my previous experience with coolant tank failures, I consider this one a safe choice because it has a lifetime warranty.
