steplce74 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hi got a new expansion tank for my mk2 focus, looking to fill it with antifreeze, just wondering how much the tank will hold, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Never measured, but I'd estimate 500-800ml. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimpster Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 My mech topped mine up for MOT said it took 3 litres, think he was fibbing LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steplce74 Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 so i litre should do, i will be filling the tank from empty with just antifreeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimpster Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 if you have a 5 litre container make a mix up to the strength you want then add it or buy premixed from most cheapie shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanfp Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 My money's on 1 litre being nowhere near enough to fill it to the max line (or even the min line to be honest). But 1 litre a/f plus 1 litre water might do it. Do let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimpster Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 the manual should say fluid quantities, allegedly just over 5 imperial gallons, according to google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think a litre will do it easily, but happy to be proved wrong! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means 45mpg is the sweet spot for working out fuel costs. (Simply divide litre price by 10 to find pence per mile!) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need that as the minimum and some more for whatever drained out the pipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
