Reply to "Coolant tank relocate"

George PAdmin.

Will,

the hot tip is to eliminate the swirl tank and overflow tank, and install a surge tank plumbed into the suction of the water pump, such as at a water pump heater hose connection. The surge tank will have a pressure cap where fluid can be added. All air bleeds are plumbed to the surge tank as well. I suggest a minimum of two air bleeds, one at the radiator inlet or outlet and one at the high point of the system which should be the outlet of the motor.

I will be doing this to mine, I plan on converting the overflow tank into the surge tank (requires a bit of modification) so as to keep the engine bay looking reasonably oem.

Issue 116 of PI magazine has an article by John Taphorn, who has performed this mod to his cooling system.
