Abstract
A tank apparatus is disclosed for holding a reserve supply of coolant for a radiator on construction or industrial vehicles. A dual enclosure of rigid material coacts with a radiator guard on a vehicle to define a tank receiving space of prescribed shape within the radiator guard, with the tank receiving space being open to an aperture formed in the top of the radiator guard. A tank fabricated of sheet rubber is relatively closely received in the tank receiving space so as to be held in all parts against the rigid enclosure. The tank has a mouth which is disposed in register with the aperture in the radiator guard and which is closed by a flat closure member of rigid material. The closure member is detachably fastened to the enclosure and is exposed through the aperture in the radiator guard for the installation of a filler neck with a cap. The rubber made tank is free from the possibility of cracking in the face of the possible deformation of the radiator guard and is further readily withdrawable from the tank receiving space through the radiator guard aperture for replacement with a new one.
