they come clear from the factory.
whatever the inside of the reservoir looks like, thats what kind of condition the inside of your engines cooling system looks like. |

hear how to clean them up from inside take out of car fill half way with water add handandy or track wash then go to the kids sand pit and add sand now with all holes blocked start shaking the sand need to be thick after 4-5 hours of shaking drain sand out and wash out with water removing all the sand not saying you will get the same result but it did work for me

CLR also gets rid of it - just make sure you rinse thoroughly, as you don't want to leave any cleaning stuff in when you reconnect it to the engine.

i wouldnt think yellow so bad (probably heat damage over time) , brown or redish brown would be bad (rusty).
why go to all the trouble of spending 5 hours cleaning it when you could just buy a new one and be done with it? |

B-series coolant resvervoirs fit with the correct BA hose to the radiator from the tank.
I know ... i have one ... and it was only about $30 from a wrecker (near new) .... nice and clean.
