Hey All,

While digging through my garage I found a rather nice aluminum bottle that is roughly the size of my coolant overflow tank, I think my tank is rather ugly and I want to take a shot at making a nice painted or polished overflow tank, and maybe cleaning up my engine bay a bit more.

When searching around I found that some people just used a old aerosol can with a hose in the top, or even a pop bottle. Unfortunately I could not find a good guide about placing the return lines, or mentioning if there was anything to watch out for.

Before I begin I just wanted to know if anyone had any pointer/notes that I should keep in mind? Or if I missed anything searching, a link to the info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for your time,
Matt

 

On further inspection of my overflow tank, I noticed that under the cap there is no siphoning tube. Do Honda's only use the tank as a catch tank, without siphoning the coolant back in? Or should I add a tube to siphon?

 

Your missing your "siphoning tube"... 94

 

Yes, you do need the "siphoning tube."

 

Good to know, I will remedy that immediately.

Thanks
