Al, Rusty and
others.
I've been a little
confused with the set- up recommended. Do you have a pressure cap on the
Radiator as well as the Expansion tank and do you have an overflow bottle
attached to the expansion tank.
I've also seen where
the rad pressure cap is not on the rad but on the return to the
pump.
I would really like
to sort this out so that I get a clearer picture of the correct
set-up.
Advice
appreciated.

Or you can do what I
did. Go to your local fire extinguisher service/refill place, and check
for one of their reject bottles that is about 1 1/2 quarts. These are
lightweight aluminum bottles, usually painted red. On mine I was able to
just peel the paint off, no paint remover required. I bought a cap neck
from one of the on-line specialty shops, and took it to my favorite aluminum
welder for welding on to the bottle. Result is a nice lightweight tank
that was the right configuration for me (see photo). Also installed a
low-level switch.
