Go to a junk yard & find a 10 year old Volvo.

===> That would keep me from getting arrested in the RX-7 :-) Is there
something special about the old Volvo tank that makes it worth looking for?
Thanks,

Aside from its volume being measured in metric ( :-) ) , you get a nice easy-mount bracket for it & it weighs almost nothing like Ed's Pep Boys unit. The big advantage is, it's designed to be a sealed system without a 'burp' vessel. The cap on the bottle is the pressure cap. This means that air pressure in the top of the tank forces fluid back into the engine/radiator as it cools. The cooling loop is always pressurized. Because it's translucent and part of the pressurized system, you can tell at a glance whether your system is truly full of coolant.
This technique isn't unique to Volvo, but it's the 1st car I noticed it on and the tank would be easy to mount if you get the bracket with it. Look under the hood of a Volvo & evaluate the way the system works for yourself.
