Hey, so I’m tight on funds and decided to try replacing my cracked radiator myself. Anyway as I’m in the middle of hooking up the new one I noticed this part that’s wrapped up in duck/speed tape.

Should I be concerned about this? I think I may have noticed this years ago before I knew that this kind of tape is pretty combustible/flammable.

What is it? It looks like a vacuum canister, so the duct tape would just keep it from leaking if there any holes... But I can't tell if that's what it is.

I'd put this on my replace "eventually" list tbh or just find a nice one at a junkyard.
