Why won't my coolant return from my overflow to my radiator?

So it seems problem solved, all I can think is the little hose was kinked or there was a bubble or something stopping the water from displacing. Drove all over Disney/O-town/Kissimmee. Took the turn pike and lite er up, long waits at stop lights, temp stayed within acceptable parameters. Temp gauge stayed 1/4 way and in long stop periods stayed just below middle with A/C on. Thanks for advise guys

The hose has to extend all the way to the bottom of the catch can in order for it to work, so does it?

Im laughing here hose is properly connected. I would hope u would give us a little more credit but i guess that can happens too. On a bright side of thing while looking at Res container I noticed lots of leaves n grass stuff on the front side of Radiator, so I took the holding brackets off n low n behold most the radiator was blocked by leaves n grass n stuff. I hosed it down n made sure all the leaves were gone, Took car for a spin n temp gauge went stayed at least 10-20 degrees cooler now that air is freely flowing
