Rust-colored water in the radiator typically indicates the presence of rust or corrosion within the cooling system. This can be caused by old coolant, lack of maintenance, or the presence of air or contaminants in the system. It is important to flush the system and potentially replace the coolant to prevent damage to the engine.

How do you tell if your radiator is clogged?
some cooling systems, you can check by removing the radiator cap when the water is cool. Then crank the vehicle and let it run until it reaches operating temp. If the water reaches or exceeds operating temp with no flow seen inside of the radiator, it could possible mean that your cooling system is clogged. Also a good indication is if there is rust deposits around the filler neck on the radiator.

Why radiator fluid looks rusty?
The cast iron in the block is starting to rust. Drain the radiator, put in a good radiator flush solution and follow the directions, then fill the radiator with the right coolant.

Why do we pour water into the engine tank of a car?
I believe you mean into the radiator tank. Hopefully you also mean antifreeze and not just water. The engine has hollow passages around the hottest parts of the motor and the liquid absorbs the heat and flows through the radiator and cools down again. The reason we use antifreeze now instead of just straight water is because the antifreeze raises the boiling point of the water so the engine can get hotter without overheating and it also has anti rusting chemicals to keep rust from the motor from plugging the radiator core.
What if you use water in radiator than coolant?
Using straight water in place of coolant will increase the chance of rust occuring within the cooling system and clogging up the radiator. Depending on the climate you live in, you will risk the possiblity of the engine freezing and cracking the block.
Why do you have Red radiator water?
