High-Quality Hydraulic Reservoirs & Tanks for Stable, Reliable Brake & Clutch Performance

Hydraulic reservoirs—also known as fluid tanks or expansion containers—store and supply hydraulic fluid for brake and clutch systems. These reservoirs ensure a stable fluid level, maintain pressure balance and prevent air from entering the hydraulic circuits. Whether used in performance vehicles, classic models or daily drivers, the reservoir plays a crucial role in keeping hydraulic systems responsive, consistent and safe.

A healthy reservoir ensures the brake and clutch systems always receive the correct amount of fluid, preventing pressure loss, contamination and system failure.

What Hydraulic Reservoirs & Tanks Do

Reservoirs and hydraulic tanks support the system by:

• Storing brake or clutch fluid for use by the master cylinder
• Maintaining correct fluid levels during temperature and pressure changes
• Allowing fluid expansion to avoid over-pressurisation
• Preventing air entry into the hydraulic system
• Reducing contamination via filtered caps or sealed designs
• Supporting consistent pedal feel during demanding conditions

A reliable reservoir helps ensure stable braking and clutch engagement across all temperatures and driving environments.

Why Hydraulic Reservoirs Commonly Fail

Despite being simple components, reservoirs are exposed to heat, vibration and corrosive fluids. Over time, they may deteriorate or fail due to:

• Cracking or brittleness from age and UV exposure
  
• Internal contamination from degraded seals or old fluid
  
• Leaks caused by stress fractures or weakened hose connections
  
• Discolouration or clouding, making fluid levels hard to read
  
• Warped or loose caps leading to air entry
  
• Corrosion on metal mounting points or fittings
  
• Heat-related deformation reducing sealing effectiveness

Typical symptoms include fluid loss, soft pedal feel, brake warning lights, or inconsistent clutch operation.

Why You Should Replace a Worn or Damaged Hydraulic Reservoir

Replacing an old or failing reservoir with a high-quality, precision-built alternative designed to match original hydraulic performance ensures your vehicle’s braking and clutch systems remain safe and dependable.

Benefits include:

• Restored fluid capacity and pressure stability
• Clear fluid visibility for accurate level checks
• Prevention of leaks and air ingress
• More consistent pedal feel in brake and clutch systems
• Reduced risk of contamination and hydraulic failure
• Improved long-term safety and reliability

A new reservoir is a simple, cost-effective upgrade that protects the entire hydraulic system.
