What are you guys using for a recirculating catch tank for the radiator? As long at the tank feed is at the bottom , wont gravity do the job of recirculating it? How often will it overflow?

I just used this one. just plug your line into the bottom and always leave the valve open. Works great.http://store.summitracing.com/partde...4&autoview=sku

Did you fill it partially before putting it in? Does it overflow at all?

I have the stocker, but its in the way of my other plans

Here's how I did mine.

have a jaz one here, just hooked into the bottom and left the top portion open, the first one I tried did not syphon and all it did was fill up and eventually spurt out, This one works good though, just make sure to get the syphon kind.

Nope. Nope. just fill your car up with water and let it circulate, when the thermostat opens up you'll pour some more in. then cap it off. Drive around abit and then let it cool off, if you need more water the radiator will bwe low.
keep doing this untill after it cools off the radiator is not low.
there should be VERY luittle water in the actual jug.

Yeah the one i have if you close the valve on the bottom and plug it into the top (the way the instructions say to do it) it won't work.

I have a Moroso can that plugs in at the top but has the siphon tube running all the way to the bottom just like the factory one, worked great.

where do you run the bottom of the tank to? the top I have a hose running to the overflow at the cap of the radiator. it sounds like I either need to run that line to the bottom of the overflow tank and leave the top open OR run another line out to bottomo f the tank back to the radiator at the bottom spicket?? is that right?

Mike K.

thats how mine worked, hooked into the bottom, I actually left the top open and its working good.

The stock one works fine for me.

do you daily drive?? just wondering how often you check it, and if it had ever overflowed.


I don't care if 'stock works', that's not what this thread is about I don't have a stock one anymore, I have a fuel cell there.

The stock one is huge and heavy.

If it weighed much that more than my moroso, I would have put the moroso in.
I still have the moroso in my tool box.


But hey, to each his own.

i daily drive mine and don't really check it. when ever i'm under the hood i take the cap off the radiator and see if it needs water. but it never does and it never overflows so i guess its workin.

Mike K.

drive about 1 time a week about 80 miles total, sometimes not even that but no it does not overflow, at first I had the top portion closed off with a vacuum cap but I noticed that when the coolant started cooling off and sucking back into my radiator that even the coolant hoses looked like they had sucked in and if I removed my cap I heard a whoosh as the pressure release, I decided to try it with the top uncapped one day just to see if it would relieve the pressure since thats kinda like stock and it did.


Im in the same boat as you have a fuel cell there now so need the aftermarket tank.

great info, thanks I've re-plumbed mine that way and it's worked great so far.

Mike K.
