Product Overview
Coolant around the bottle seam, a broken return nipple, or a reservoir that empties between drives can look like a larger engine problem. After pressure-testing the system and tracing the leak, a new expansion tank restores the sealed fill and recovery point.
Several Ford vehicles share this reservoir shape, but production changes and engine packages still matter. Compare the molded number, cap neck, hose ports, sensor provisions, mounting points, and clearance before ordering. Never open a hot pressurized cooling system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a bad reservoir cap cause coolant loss? A: Yes. A cap that cannot hold or recover pressure can vent coolant or admit air.
Q: Will this fit both Focus and Escape? A: It fits listed applications that use the same tank design; verify CV6Z-8A080-A and all connections.
Q: Can I open the cap when the engine is warm? A: No. Wait until the system is completely cool to avoid burns.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
