 :confused1: what tank will rust? the coolant reservoir is plastic. ethylene glycol coolant pH is ~7 as it is mixed primarily with distilled water.

the coolant reservoir tank is plastic but the fuild will contact with many metal parts in the process of cooling. Your radiator can not be plastic correct?
