OK so I am new to jeeps... so I have been getting around mine cleaning this and that as per the noob guide... and I noticed the coolant expansion tank is only half used... like one side is redundant! !

Every other car or bike I have had used all the tank..

Is this normal.??if so what is the purpose of the empty part?

Thanks as always :BANANA:

To be clear the tank is used only on the left side... nothing in the right side... it's like 2 tanks in 1..

The empty side is the overflow side.
There should be a hose from the radiator cap to the overflow.
