expansion/overflow tank



actually an overflow has the capability has the radiator cools down, and
creates a vacuum, to suck the liquid back into the radiator, that is how the
overflow bottle where for years in n.American cars and it works..but only
once your turn the engine off and let it cool down this happens.

Ha, ha!  An overflow tank IS an expansion tank, minus the return
capabilities!

Tear 'em up, tiger.
