Default Radiator overflow reserve tank
1989 stock

Is the radiator overflow reserve take pressurized? The reason I am asking is my tank cap does not fit very tight. I can tighten it down and with very little force, just pull it off Do I need new tank? Bought new cap, but same results

No pressure in the over flow tank/bottle.
The threads could be bad on the tank, try a strip of good tape wrapped around the threads to tighten up the cap.
