Febi Power Steering Oil Tank 38802 1H0 422 371 C 1H0422371 1H0422371C SKU: 38802 Product Description:
- A power steering oil tank (or reservoir) is a container that stores the hydraulic fluid (power steering fluid) used by a vehicle’s hydraulic steering system. It supplies fluid to the power-steering pump, receives returning fluid from the steering gear, accommodates volume changes (e.g. due to thermal expansion), filters impurities and air, and provides a means to check and refill fluid.Without a properly functioning reservoir, the power-steering system cannot maintain consistent fluid supply, which may lead to steering stiffness, increased wear, or failure of steering components.
Key Features:- Holds sufficient volume of hydraulic fluid required by the steering system so the pump always has access to fluid under all driving conditions.
- Includes a visible fluid-level window, dipstick, or marked reservoir walls to allow quick checks of fluid level, plus a filler neck or cap for easy refilling.
- Helps filter out dirt and contaminants when fluid returns — preventing debris from entering the pump and steering gear.
- Allows air exchange while preventing vacuum or pressure build-up; some designs include valves to vent excess pressure or fluid, supporting safe operation even under thermal expansion or fluid volume changes.
- Particularly in metal tanks or tanks exposed to engine heat: helps dissipate heat from the fluid to maintain stable fluid viscosity and performance.
- Made from materials (plastic or metal) that resist corrosion, fluid degradation, and maintain a reliable seal to prevent leaks or air ingress.
- Engineered so that return fluid flows back into the reservoir smoothly (often guided by baffles), minimizing turbulence, foaming, and ensuring consistent supply to the pump.
- Easy to access for fluid refill, inspection, or replacement; hoses and mounting fittings should be conveniently placed and secure (clamps, bracket mounts, etc.).
