Febi Power Steering Oil Tank 18840 191 422 371 D 176422371 191422371 SKU: 18840 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.).
