Why is my coolant tank not filling up?
A damaged reservoir tank can cause evaporation of the coolant; it is the cause of the coolant reservoir not filling up. The drop rate in the level of coolant depends on the extent of the damage. The coolant level also decreases with time as you use the engine of your car, so you can try refilling the reservoir and observe for faults.
How does the water fill the toilet tank?
The water level in the toilet tank is kept at a certain level by a floater mechanism. This mechanism works by floating a ball on the surface of the water. As the water fills the tank, it raises the ball with it. Being attached to the float rod, the floater then reaches a certain level where it stops any further flow of water into the tank.
