Hello,

I would like to report something odd. I had been tuning my B20 142E with megasquirt. and doing well. The only problem my car had was that often it ran below 160F which disabled the TunerStudio auto tune. the temp has been running under 195F all week long in my driveway with no problems.

I was sitting for a moment after pulling in the driveway and all of a sudden my car turned into a sauna. The top of my expansion tank had ruptured off. Not the cap coming loose, but the neck becoming separated from the body. Looks like a failed seam where the neck and bottle were fused together. This was one of those pretty new white ones you can get from Europe for $101. I also had a new pressure cap on board as well. It exploded under pressure, but my temp was only at 175F when it popped. the hose to the radiator stayed on.

Just cause its looks new and pretty don't mean it is a quality product. D
