Hello good morning, sir,

The vehicle recovery tank always gets filled up whenever the engine is running, and it won't return into the radiator whenever the vehicle is cooled. When I checked the engine there was no thermostat, could it be the cause of the problem?

Hi,

The thermostat should be replaced, but I don't see how that would cause this. But anything is possible.

First, replace the thermostat to see if that changes the issue. I don't feel it will, but it may. If that doesn't help, have you checked for a head gasket-related issue? Does the system pressurize?

Let me know.
