for next - if you dont want delete air from "apendiks pimp" - take cuprum tube from "home air condition" and t-piece -than connect "apendiks tube" and "way in" of "cooling tank"....

From the picture it looks like the idea is as coolant expands it gets pushed out and into the plastic bottle, on cooling down the contacting water creates a symphon to draw the water back into the system. Thus avoiding having to top up regularly. But then again I could be totally wrong

[g8dhe]

Its a sealed system, otherwise you can't create the necessary pressure to increase heat transfer, so no way can it be a syphon process as that requires that the syphon container to be open! The above picture just appears to me to be a collection bottle, so if the pressure cap opens the water is stored in the bottle and can be manually poured back in if required or just simply work as an indicator that you have over pressurised...

Yes but, he’s talking about the T junction to the left of the tank..what’s that for??

[cutlass]

NO! all wrong...I talk about connect that and "way in" cooling tank...use T-connector and cuprum tube

after that you be onlu pour antfreeze on tank and dont open cap at "apendiks tube" and air be delete autonomously

[cutlass]

for next - if you use bongo in wery hot climate - use that idea - delete "U-pipe" and do "line" cooling sistem https://www.drive2.ru/l/475280944610148836/

I believe the t piece is connected to the end of the bleed tube. An automatic bleed process?
I'm with Geof that the bottle Is for indicating an over pressure, I have one with a float switch connected to an Led in the cab.

[cutlass]

An automatic bleed process? - yes! Am sorry - I dont speak werry well

[Katka]

Is the self bleed idea Cutlass has developed the similar to this thread? viewtopic.php?f=3&t=73975&p=694780&hili ... pe#p694780.

Instead of having a bottle to catch overpressure coolant......just extend the black outlet pipe and put it through the bulkhead so that if it over pressures it sprays over your feet.....instant warning that you cannot ignor !!!!

[cutlass]

it bottle use at hot summer, after "hard-fast drive" - when you stop engine - antifreeze may local boil in engine - caps valve be open - antifreeze may go out....next situation - if you crash head engine-for go home you must delete termostat and open lowermost gasket of cap cool tank - bottle be catch antifreeze

[cutlass]

for next - if in "long trip" cooling sistem leak - and you dont have "stop leak" - I use mustard - mix with antifreeze and pour into radiator

[cutlass]

Katka- it is similar idea - thank you! but I dont pave pipe across through the salon bongo

[cutlass]

check glow plug and install transparent tube (from moto) on fuel pump - check air into fuel...

[haydn callow]

Look on the bright side.......what would have been the result if you had no coolant alarm??
