One of the plastic over flow tanks on my 1979 DD 671N's has developed a leak at the barb on the bottom of the tank where the hose from the closed cooling reservoir pressure cap overflow connects. I have called the local DD dealer and they want $137 for this little plastic tank ... which seems excessive to me. Has anyone had a similar leakage problem? Mine only drips a few drops of coolant a week. I'm thinking about removing the tank, draining it, let it dry and then try to repair the barbed fitting with PVC pipe adhesive. Does anyone have any other thoughts? Or does anyone have one of these tanks that you have removed and may want to sell?? As usual ... thanks guys!
 
I had a problem with my 1271's, but the issue was that the tank was too small as well as leaking. I found a replacement that was a good fit at the local Chevrolet dealer- it was for a 3/4 ton suburban and cost about $20. It came with mounting holes molded into the tank for easy mounting. I replaced both tanks- works great.
 
I have used for a few years two generic overflow tanks purchased from a truck parts dealer on my Cummins. I recall the tank and connecting hose were about $15.00 for each set.

Thanks guys ... I'll check with some local truck parts shops!
 
Sen-Dure in Ft. Lauderdale has them in their catalog....I think they're $29.00
 
Thanks! I called Sen-Dure (954-973-1260) and they had the tank assembly. Their part number 1490 @ $28.00 plus shipping!

As usual ... this forum is a great asset! Thanks Sam's Marine!!!!
