Mark,
No problem - no "confusion". Could we say that a "pressurized old
Mazda/newer Ford" expansion tank fills both functions, "purge" and
"expansion"?
The picture you mention - was it of a long shiney box mounted fore & aft on
side of engine compartment? It and your expansion tank are both
pressurized? With the [air] "purge" function separated from the pressurized
"expansion tank", the "purge" box must be the equivalent of Lynn Hannover's
"swirl pot" that he's referred to many times.

David,
Sorry, what I have been referring to as an "expansion tank" is actually a
"purge tank". My purge tank looks like the one in the picture that Paul
Connor
posted yesterday.
It also has a connection just below the cap for a small 1/4" line. I've
connected
that to an "expansion tank".
Sorry if this has caused any confusion.
Mark S.
