Is there any reason why I cant use a 2.5 qt universal recovery tank.

No. Fiero store used to have the right tank but I don't see it now.

I had seen that they may or may not be reproduced.I kinda need one now because mine has a hole in it.

Have you ever patched polyethylene with a soldering gun? It's do-able.....a bit messy.

yeah actually I use a little heat and melt plastic on top of hole but it really looks like crap and still leaks.

I may have an extra one.... will look tomorrow.

ok let me know...Thanks

Is it the threads? I have used teflon tape in the past. The recovery tank shouldnt get full enough to leak out the cap though unless your radiator cap is bad.

It is leaking because it has a hole in ther side of it.

Id try a two part epoxy.

I am dealing with 27 year old plastic that has become brittle.I don't mind a good used tank
or a universal tank.Just need something functional that's why I asked if it would work.
I figured somebody possibly went that route.

I actually had the same problem as you, I used the 2.5 universal tank made by inderdynamics. The kit is a royal pain to install and the tubing provided is garbage, as the tank leaks a little around the petcock area. I even used hose clamps that I bought separately but it still leaks.

Junkyard tank would be a good one too. The three I have had havent been brittle, but I suppose it could be that dry Texas air. A wanted ad in the mall should get you some, maybe from a northern state.

yeah it really is the heat down here.Last summer we hit 113.This summer it was a cool front it only hit 108.......

Does anybody know of another supplier for a new tank beside the fiero store?
