Dorman 603-001 Universal Fluid Reservoir with Cap

cheapie bottle but it works good

I bought this Dorman universal reservoir in a different size than another one I tried. This version doesn’t come with all the mounting hardware, tubing, and other accessories, which is actually fine with me because I didn’t need any of that for my application. The quality of the tank itself is excellent. The cut and finish are very clean, and I really don’t have any complaints about the construction. This is a universal tank, so obviously you’re going to have to figure out your own mounting and plumbing depending on what you’re using it for. The only reason I didn’t use this particular tank is that the size wasn’t right for my application. That’s not really a problem with the product, just a matter of getting the right size. This particular tank has basically one hose connection on the bottom and doesn’t have additional hose nipples elsewhere. I actually like the fact that it has several nice flat surfaces because it gives you plenty of options if you need to modify it. For example, you can install a bulkhead fitting through one of the flat areas. I’ve done that with another Dorman tank and it worked extremely well and sealed great. You could also add another hose nipple by plastic welding it onto the tank without much difficulty. The tank is made from HDPE, so it can be heat welded if you need to make modifications. That’s a nice feature for a universal reservoir because you’re not limited to the connections that come molded into the tank. Overall, I have no real complaints about this tank. The construction and finishing are very good, the molded connection is clean, and there are plenty of flat surfaces for adding your own fittings or connections. It simply wasn’t the right size for what I was doing. If this size works for your application, I think it’s a very good universal reservoir, especially if you’re comfortable making your own mounting and plumbing modifications.

Fit perfect in my situation

Decent quality but was unable to use for my application

Well packaged, 1/2 gal or a little bit bigger. Great for wiper fluid for old snow plow truck. Easy firewall install, small size, nice looking comes with a cap

This is the third time I have installed these tanks on pressure washers for a soap tank. They are ideal for this application.

Had doubts at the beginning, if wouldn’t fit on my CJ7, was wrong fit like a glove easy to install

This is the third one of these I've owned. I have found that if the cap is tightened firmly so that it stays on eventually the top of the cap breaks off from the threaded sides. If you tighten the cap a little looser, the cap eventually vibrates off and is gone forever. My solution was to attach a small chain to the top of the cap and attach the other end of the chain to the car. At least when it vibrates off now I won't lose it forever.

buen bote de recuperador

Hat perfekt gepasst

Great product, quality,

Great for the price. I used this to relocate my washer bucket. It’s a Perfect small size to hide anywhere. Seems to be strong. I put a screw and glue in the bottom drain because I did not need it. Painted it black with no problems and attached my washer fluid cap. Works great.
