    pls, how to disinfect the coolant tank?

    Hello, I took out the coolant tank and washed it, now is dry and want to put it back. I was thinking to disinfect it before but I don't know with what: spirit, kitchen disinfectant, or to spray some vodka on it and on me ????

    Save the vodka for yourself. Just letting it sit dry overnight should be good enough. Chlorine in the water will kill anything that's left. If you really want to do something extra you can use bleach or rubbing alcohol.

    hy ted, i just finished : i washed it at a car wash, then i cleaned the rests with napkins + clean coolant; after it dried, i used napkins + desinfectant

    i don't like the swamp that appears inside these tanks

    i generally clean them 2 times / year :
    ... spring - summer : 1 nice clean, including tank wash, chuck apart & cleaning, cleaning behind the covers, coolant pump clean, etc
    ... near winter : only a quick coolant tank clean, removing as much of the swamp as possible, without emptying the tank

    kindly
