Recirculating Coolant Tank...?
Recirculating Coolant Tank...? 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

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.

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?

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.
