Will this mount to my factory coolant hose connections?

Yes. This tank uses factory mounting points and is designed to connect directly to your existing coolant lines without modification or adapter fittings.

Do I need to pre-fill this tank before installation?

Fill it to the MIN line with your vehicle's specified coolant before connecting hoses. This prevents air pockets in your cooling system during startup.

Can I reuse my old hose clamps and fittings?

Inspect your existing clamps and hoses for cracks or corrosion before reusing them. If they're more than five years old or show wear, swap them out — cheap insurance against coolant leaks down the road.
