Do modern cars still have a water tank?
1 Answers
Yes, cars do have a water tank. Here is some relevant information about car water tanks: 1. The liquids added to the water tank: The water tank near the front of the car is for adding windshield washer fluid, while the one near the car's windshield is for adding antifreeze. Neither windshield washer fluid nor antifreeze can be replaced with tap water. 2. The difference between antifreeze and water: Antifreeze has a boiling point above 120 degrees Celsius, whereas water boils at only 100 degrees Celsius. Using antifreeze in cars can prevent "boiling over" in the summer. Using water instead of antifreeze can easily lead to scale buildup and requires frequent replacement, whereas antifreeze does not have these issues. Water can also be somewhat corrosive to the cooling system, while antifreeze includes anti-corrosion and anti-rust properties.
