when the radiator needs coolant it takes from the overflow tank or puts it back.

This is going to sound dumb but how in the hell does it take the coolant out of the bottle? There is one line running on my overflow tank and it at the very top? Suction it out, I would think this would like concave the whole bottle lol

Pressures in a raditor change when it gets hot and when it cools. This will cause the suction or "putting in" into the overflow tank as dictated by radiator cap.
