DNA MOTORING TANK-PS-005 Aluminum Power Steering Fluid Reservoir Can w/Cap Universal Fit

I had purchased a reservoir from an online automotive supplier. It looked nice and came with a good 2 clamp bracket, but the weight of an AN10 hose actually bent the bottom of the unit. The DNA motors reservoir was purchased to prevent leaks from my too thin reservoir. Thick aluminum nicely welded, with a baffle, and powder coated, excellent! They even seem to have improved the chromed cap with a silicone gasket. My only suggestion to DNA is to include two brackets to better stabilize reservoir.

Looks & worked great, no modifications needed & good price.

Good dress up piece

Cool looking product for the $$ but problematic... Large port threads to pump feed are way too large for supplied fitting. Product comes with 1/2" npt fitting that does not fit correctly, very sloppy threads and 3/4 is too big. Its almost a "an" thread but will never tighten up against anything. Maybe JB weld or take to a/c hose shop and have them tig weld an aluminum a fitting.Cap gasket very thin, add additional gasket and or tap down where the cap pulls down either on tank or cap so it pulls down tighter.An obvious manufacturing defect, DNA Motoring offered no excuses or apologies. All they said was contact Amazon Customer Service.In conclusion, I spent an additional $50 at A/C hose shop to have a 90 degree aluminum fitting with 5/8 barb end tig welded for my application, added thicker gasket and modified cap by taping pull down points on cap to pull down tighter. Was leaking because cap would not pull down tightly.Should work fine now. Aggravating!!!

This is not a well built reservoir, although it may work for you. Power steering fluid reservoirs are not simply a tank holding extra liquid. They serve as a medium for the fluid to flow back and forth through the reservoir and the two hoses as the pump applies pressure to the liquid back and forth as you turn the wheel left and right, so the seals must be tight. This failed for me in every way. The two bottom connectors seemed to be the perfect size visually for my hoses, and slipped on fine with some grip, however, after driving fluid leaked from both hose connections almost immediately. Also, the cap is not a really a proper sealed cap. It’s not threaded but instead has a very cheaply designed, thin angled ring which is supposed to keep the fluid in with the help of a silicon washer, but doesn’t. I had fluid leak from the top of this reservoir, even when only half full. This thing made such a mess in my engine bay I had to throw it out and just replace it with a stock one. So glad I did and frankly, it looks better than this cheap piece of metal. Don’t be fooled by the shiny.

The Build.. the Finish.. I'm in Awe after having Issues with a Different Item for a Power Steering Reservoir..Welds are Nice with the One Sent to Me.. Top Tier.. Make Sure You Order the Right Fittings... Take Your Time and Use a Higj Heat Thread Lock... was Once told threadlock didn't Matter with Certain Fittings... But I Hate Leaks..

This product came in and looked great. Welds were nice. No leaks. The only issue I ran in to was the inlet and outlet are on the wrong/opposite sides so you have to cross the lines to make them fit. Other than that they look great and add a nice touch.

First if all I rarely post comments but This is a extremely well built part for less then $60 shipped. The welds are all good. The aluminum is good thickness. The barbs are welded on great and they weld in a baffle. They even welded the under sides of the flanges connected to the tank… could the cap be nicer? Yes. But for the price you pay you get well beyond what would be expected. Im not sure if i got lucky and the guy who made it was having a good day when he made this but i would definitely recommend
