Overflow(reservoir0 question

coolant reservoir questions


Ok i got a hold of some extra 10 ga. t-304 polished stainless at work, and i made me an overflow tank, i have never liked where the stock one was anyhow.

My question is, if it is airtight will it allow fluid to be pushed in it, or even allow the fluid to be sucked back up by the radiator when needed.... I can put fittings or whatever i need to on it, just kinda need to know what to do......

Does it need a vent, i already bought a drain ****, so that i can empty it.

Wouldn't it be best to locate the fitting for the coolant hose on the bottom of the thing so that it would recirculate easier.....i could also run some small diameter stainless tubing from the bottom to a fitting on top if need be, i have some of that as well.... 3/8 diam....


just a lil help needed if anyone knows.....


thanks.....

i don't have the resources to roll the stainless etc. as the canton is, i was actually planning on getting rid of the sensor...... car is becoming far from a daily driver so i always check oil, water etc. before driving, or before going far......lol


they did have one on that site that looked to be about what i have in mind, my first one didn't turn out right, so i am on the second design, when i finally make something work i will post it up...... Kind of want to put it where the battery was.....
