An Example Of The Reasons I Don't Recommend Radiator Tank Repair

In this video I have a great example of failed radiator tank repair and explain the reasons I don't recommend radiator tank repair. I believe it is best to replace a radiator rather than using epoxies, patches or "welds". I've never had luck with them in this application. I'm sure there may be some products out there, that I haven't used, that work. However, when using a product to repair your radiator tank remember that the part of the tank you are not repairing is just as old and brittle as the part of the tank you are repairing. Even though you don't have cracks elsewhere on the tank at the time there is a good chance a crack will surface in the near future in a different spot. Because of this, and because of previous failed attempts at tank repair, it's been my experience that the level of frustration and disappointment associated with tank repair makes the cost of a new radiator VERY MUCH worth it. Just my opinion. Take it or leave it.

Disclaimer
This video is meant to share MY OPINION on the subject discussed. My opinion was formed out of many years working as an automobile technician. After several attempts at repairing radiator leaks using epoxies, welds, and the like on several different vehicles I've come to the conclusion that it's just not worth it. Many hours and some money has been wasted on trying to patch these radiators. It only left me frustrated and my customers disappointed. THIS IS MY OPINION BASED ON MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. My intention in posting this video is to save you some aggravation.
