The 2nd gen car that's dead in my hangar is dead because I got
dependent
on the 'raise the dead' buzzer that went off when the sensor *in
the
overflow tank* sensed low coolant. When the upper tank on the
radiator
cracked & lost coolant while driving, the overflow tank still
had plenty
in it & I never got the buzzer.
Good point, but
I'm ahead of you on this. My hope is to get an expansion tank mounted
high enough to be a gravity feed into the engine.
This brings up a potentially significant point. Most folks say to
use
system pressure to detect leaks.
That was my plan before, but since I'm
using Evan's NGR-R, I plan to run a zero pressure system. I figure this
will slow the loss if a leak should develop.
I'm waaaaay late heading to the hanger,
but I just thought about an old aluminum air/oil separator that I have at the
hanger. I'm thinking it might make a good expansion tank/sensor
vessel. Made a note to dig it up and look at it.
I'm off.
Rusty
