Any reason to keep cracked expansion tank?
Any reason to keep cracked expansion tank?
Or any other broken replaced parts? Got fed up with the mess in the garage, so tossing or putting up in the attic (my other hoard is cardboard boxes, which is most of the problem, but was too warm to go up until freezing winter came). Thank y'all in advance!

I can't think of any reason to - other than as soon as you throw it away you'll find you need it for some reason you could never have anticipated and wish you hadn't.

B.T.W., the early metal tank is a direct fit. Had to be one of the best parts swap from the '79 so far. No more fumes! Ah...

This happens to me so much! It is comforting to know I am not the only one.

Doesn`t every one keep useless broken and worn out parts laying around?
That is the sign of a successful Gear Head. LOL Charlie sent from my new Laptop

What year 300D's used a metal coolant expansion tank besides the '79 mentioned above?

Unfortunately both of them ended up leaking at the solder seam and I went back to the plastic one.

I found only one, think it was on a W116 around 79 or so.

I had seen a photograph of a deck lid from a "TURBODIESEL" turned in to a coffee table. So depending on your taste in art it could be a conversation piece on a nick knack shelve.
