What is the tank frame？
The tank frame is the support structure used by the car to fix the tank and the condenser, located in the front part, and bears the bearing connection of most of the front appearance parts.
As an important part of the car, the tank frame is usually placed horizontally in the front of the car. Its main function is to fix and support the water tank and condenser, while accepting and connecting the external parts of the front, such as the front bars, headlights, blades, etc. By observing the state of the tank frame, you can initially determine whether the car has ever had an accident. The material of the water tank frame is generally divided into three types: metal material, resin material (often called plastic) and metal + resin material. Its structural styles are diverse, including the non-removable water tank frame, which is the most common one on the market, consisting of four parts of the upper and lower left and right brackets, forming a gantry shape.
In the used car market, the replacement of the tank frame is an important consideration. Replacing the tank frame involves the structural repair of the vehicle, and whether it constitutes a major accident also needs to consider the severity of the accident and the quality of the repair. Therefore, understanding the definition and function of the tank frame is crucial to identifying the overall condition of the accident car and vehicle.
The common faults and solutions of the water tank are as follows:
Fault 1: Coolant leakage. The reasons may be that the water tank cover is not tightened, the water tank sealing ring is aging, the installation pipe on the water tank is aging or improper installation, and the engine fan is installed in an incorrect position. The solution is to replace aging seals, conduits and tank covers.
Fault two: the engine does not cycle properly. Causes may include a lack of coolant in the engine water tank, water leakage in the engine water tank, dirty radiator plates in the water tank, damaged water pumps, or blocked circulation lines. The solution is to check whether the coolant tank of the engine room is leaking and carry out the corresponding maintenance. If the coolant is sufficient but the cooling system still does not circulate, the vehicle should be taken to a repair shop for a full inspection and repair.
Fault three: Constant boiling in the cooling system. The reason may be that the thermostat can not be opened or opened too early, the coolant temperature and water temperature rise time will become longer, and will continue to boil. The solution is to send the vehicle to the repair shop to check whether the thermostat and other parts of the cooling system are blocked.
Fault 4: The engine temperature is too high. The reason may be that the engine is overheating, the engine water tank is leaking, the coolant is insufficient or the quality is not up to standard, and the radiator is too dirty. The solution is to pay attention to regularly check and add coolant, and regularly clean the radiator to avoid its too dirty blockage. If you continue to drive when the water temperature is too high, you may damage the engine.
Fault 5: There is gas in the water tank. The cause may be a damaged engine cylinder wall that causes compressed gas to enter the cooling system. The solution is to send the vehicle to the repair shop to repair the damaged parts of the cylinder wall.
Fault six: The water tank is rusty or scaly. The reason may be that the tank has not been cleaned for a long time or has not added rust prevention agents regularly, resulting in rust or scaling of the tank. The solution is to clean the tank regularly and maintain it with an anti-rust agent.
The above is the common faults and solutions of the water tank, if you encounter specific problems, it is recommended to consult professionals to obtain more accurate advice.
