Engine Coolant Expansion Tanks
Air Cleaner
The injection system tted to this car detects the level of air drawn into
the engine, and uses this information to control the fuel level. It is most
important that the airow is not restricted. The air cleaner should be
changed every 10,000 miles, or more frequently in dusty conditions or
regular town use. A Morgan Service Dealer should change the air lter
element as it is only accessible from underneath the vehicle. When
replacing, use the correct specication of element.
Spark Plugs
If tting new spark plugs, be sure to only use the correct specication and set
the gap correctly. Consult your Morgan Service Dealer if uncertain.
Cooling System
The coolant expansion tanks and coolant systems are situated under the
bonnets. Under the left hand bonnet is the engine coolant circuit and under
the right hand bonnet is the low temperature intercooler circuit. The larger
tank is for the engine cooling and the smaller tank is for the charge cooler.
Both coolant systems should be lled to half way up the tank with HT-12
coolant and should be inspected only when the engine is cool. It is essential
that the engine is supplied with sucient water/HT-12 mixture at all times. In
an engine of this type, HT-12 must be present in the water at all times. HT-
12 should be kept at a minimum of 50
%
by volume.
DANGER Only remove the coolant ller cap when the engine is cool,
otherwise the escaping steam and boiling water may cause serious
scalding and injury.
DANGER Coolant uids are dangerous; keep out of reach of children.
Swallowing coolant may damage health resulting in death or serious
damage to the body.
Whenever the car is serviced and periodically between these times, the coolant
must be checked. At the same time it is recommended that all the hose clips
and hoses be examined for tightness and damage. Any persistent loss of
coolant should be indicated to a Morgan service agent at the earliest opportunity.
NOTICE When the expansion tank is lled above half, water would be
discharged through the clear overow pipe on the neck of the expansion tank
when the engine is hot.
