Note: The bolt at the bottom of expansion tank (16) is 10 mm (0.39 inch) shorter than the two bolts at the top of the expansion tank. The bolt at the bottom of the expansion tank is threaded into a long nut (9) which is retained by stud (7). Ensure that stud (7) and long nut (9) are tight before the bolt is installed.
Inspect the expansion tank. Flush out the expansion tank with clean water in order to remove any debris. Clean the external surfaces of the expansion tank. Clean the fastener, the rubber bushings, and the bottom hose. If the six rubber bushings are damaged, replace the rubber bushings. If bottom hose (10) is damaged, replace the bottom hose. Check the expansion tank for cracks or for leaks. Check the seal of filler cap (1). Replace the filler cap if the seal is damaged.
If water outlet manifold (5) has been removed, install a new gasket. Do not use sealant on the gasket.
Ensure that stud (7), washer (8), and long nut (9) are in the correct position. Ensure that the stud, the washer, and the long nut are fully tightened.
