3438, Aluminum tanks
Posted by 99_GS, Apr-24-01 09:35 AM
I am thinking of Changing out Power Steering Fluid Tank and my Radiator Fluid Reserve Tank to an Aluminum tanks. Are these going to be heavier then the stock... I am not sure how much aluminum tanks weigh?

dude i pulled out the radiator reserve tank and gave it a good coating of plastic primer and then a few coats of high temp high gloss black paint and it looks awesome. i used a 1/2" thick piece of masking take to cover a small area so i could still see how high the fluid was but it looks great. i would just do that unless you have to have aluminum cause it only cost me 5 dollars and still have 3/4 of a can of black paint !

That's a sweet idea, I never thought of that... I think I'm going to have to do that. Thanks.

i did the same to mine, they are blue, left a strip of tape as a window as well. the aluminum ones will be heavier though because the stocks weigh next to nothing.
