Power steering reservoir

Its in the way, it's ugly. How did you guys deal with it? It's a remote tank, so would it make sense to just cut the lines and drop it down a few inches so it's under the thermostat housing? I wanted it out of the way of the CPS, so i unbolted it from those two braces that hold it on, the only problem is it's leaning on the sensors in my stat housing and one of them is already cracked :/. So... Relocation or removal/smaller or nicer tank ideas?

I moved it to the location of the charcoal canister. But I might be moving it again to behind the nose piece. Just use oil rated lines.

any tank will work, you can use the non turbo style one, the 4th gen gm f bodys have a nice black tank. just go look around a junkyard and fine you you like.

I bent the factory brackets on mine and mounted it to the strut tower using a long bolt and spacers from a seat belt.

I have my boost controller on my strut tower, so that won't work. I like the placement, though. What about right on top of the pump? I could just use a long funnel to fill?? Any pics of it in the charc can location?

no room to mount it on the pump, rad hose is in the way, which is why its a remote tank system.

I used my stock one, built two brackets out of simple metal strap with the holes in it. I mounted it between strut tower and canister, perhaps not real pretty, but functional.

a little paint would make it look nice!

 

[gottadiesel]

Yeah I should have... I guess I have never been one for making an engine bay pretty... for sure I like clean and oil free... but it is my DD that sees 40k a year and 1/2 of that is in the rain in the NW... so it is hard enough keeping the paint looking respectable let alone the engine bay... though I love to see a pretty engine bay, so would be last one to put someone down for wanting to make theirs pretty.

Gettin ready to pull rack n pinion to replace unit and add filter... maybe this would be a good time to paint it

I just removed it and put the NA reservoir in the stock location on the fender. Been working fine now for over a year

Also, it would be good for this thread to remind everyone to use ATF fluid ONLY in them. If you need to verify this, refer to the pictures above.

What the hell else would you use? Doesn't it say dextron-iii on the cap?

The infamous "Dextron" strikes again...
