As a much older mechanic, I'm amused by the talk about the superiority of metal tanks. I can't tell you how many radiators I have seen and/or repaired that leaked at the tank seams. Much more common than plastic tank leaks.
The chemistry of the newer coolants is so much better than in the past. Today, I don't see the rust and dirt in the coolants when flushing, usually looking very good when they are dumped.
Radiators now decay at much slower rates than in the past due to the better chemistry.
In the 'good, old days', the coolant was always nasty looking after only a year or two.
Believe it or not, these are the good, old days
