FenFabrication Aluminum Coolant Tank - Black (2020-2026 Ford Explorer ST)
Billet-Style Coolant Expansion Tank for a Cleaner Engine Bay
If you're building your 2020-2026 Ford Explorer ST to stand out - especially at shows - the factory plastic coolant tank is an obvious weak point. The FenFabrication Aluminum Coolant Expansion Tank replaces that eyesore with a durable, performance-minded aluminum solution that improves both under-hood appearance and long-term reliability.
This tank is a direct bolt-in replacement and is constructed entirely from high-quality aluminum, eliminating the failure-prone plastic used in the OEM design. Constant heat cycling can cause factory plastic tanks to crack or deform over time, while the TIG-welded aluminum construction of this FenFabrication tank is built to handle extreme temperature changes without compromise.
Finished in a clean black coating, this version delivers a subtle, performance-focused look that pairs perfectly with both stock and modified engine bays. The tank includes a standard coolant cap and can be upgraded to a FenFabrication billet cap for an even more refined appearance.
