A manufacturing process for making different expansion tanks for different cooling systems and/or for different engines, each of the expansion tanks having an inlet mouth and comprising: a plastic shell comprising a) a wall defining a cavity for containing a coolant liquid; and b) at least one collar at the inlet mouth, the collar being outwardly projecting from the wall. Each of the expansion tanks further comprising a tubular insert engaging the collar and defining the inlet mouth; the tubular insert being made of plastic material; and retention means which hold the tubular insert relative to the collar. The process comprising making shells identical in shape and size, for all of the expansion tanks; and making inserts that differ in the value of their inner diameter; each inner diameter value being determined at the design stage depending on the type of cooling system and/or the type of engine.
