Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrai 308 water reservoir

[Rui Gigante (rui.gigante]

So the idea is that steel/iron, if present, will be the "target", corrosion wise. That is my experience.

I always use Mercedes coolant, 50/50 mix with demineralised water. No problems whatsoever.

I was under the impression these cooling system tanks were either brass, or copper.

 

Aluminum is probably better. Too many dissimilar metals in a cooling system would only encourage corrosion.

 

Although, is the corrosion exacerbated by the use of tap water when mixed with antifreeze? I’ve only ever used distilled water when mixing and have never come across corrosion fall out when draining the old coolant out. My tank is leak-free.

Don't keep doing that time and time again. I've replaced mine with the aluminium version from Superformance 9 years ago. Exact copy of the original and never a problem after. No rust whatsoever in the system, either, since it was the only iron element  😁

A friend of mine has exactly the same Ferrari (1981 308 GTSi) I have. He needs a water reservoir.
He had his repaired (welded) once, but the whole thing is leaking again.
I’m wondering, does anyone of you has an used one for sell ?
New ones are just too expensive.
