Coolant recovery tank 802/803

[smokem joe]

Has anyone found a replacement tank that will work for the 802/803 overflow? I found a suitable cap with the search but not much came up for the tank

Someone posted long ago about finding a replacement. It wasn't OEM but it went to a volkswagon or something. I'll see if I can find it.

Here goes one link, it's not the one I was thinking of but I'm still looking.

That might work. I'd like to see one with some more details before I'd order. I'm sure I can google that part number. The other one mentioned from a suzuki does not appear to be anything more than a catch can for overflow

Hate to put something shiny in these but I will give this a shot. Supposed to be the right size inlet. Zed the suzuki one mentioned in that post only appears to have an inlet and no outlet. Can't find out for sure if it has a dip tube from the description either. I would rather have put a plastic one back on but it this one works it should last longer than the gen set

Agree. Hard to tell if there is a outlet hole in the bottle lid. Maybe Ray70 will comment.

Howdy,
The real MEP-8xx coolant recovery tank can be found out there.

I did find the part number and google it but was unwilling to pay the price for a genuine one.
