The Expansion Tank (Part Number 141090) for Scania Trucks is a critical component of the vehicle’s cooling system, designed to manage coolant expansion and maintain stable pressure in heavy-duty applications. Used in Scania truck models like the R-series, P-series, and G-series (typically 2004 onward) with engines such as the DC9, DC13, or DC16, it stores excess coolant as the engine heats up, preventing over-pressurization of the system, and returns coolant during cooldown to maintain optimal fluid levels. Constructed from high-strength, heat-resistant plastic, it features a translucent body for easy visual monitoring of coolant levels and a pressure-rated cap (typically 1.4–1.6 bar) to ensure system integrity. With a capacity of approximately 4–5 liters, it integrates into the engine bay via rugged, OEM-specific mounting brackets and reinforced hose connections. This tank minimizes air ingress, reduces coolant loss, and prevents overheating, safeguarding critical components like the radiator, water pump, and engine block. Its corrosion-resistant design and robust construction ensure reliability in long-haul, high-stress environments, extreme temperatures, or heavy-load operations.
