This basically says you can use this catch can as the fill point for the entire engine cooling system if the radiator fill point is lower than the engine. You would use this can, mount it higher than the engine and fill the system there.

Please help me, I think I am making way to big a deal out of this. If I dont need to be able to add fluid to the catch can just slap me and let me know. For those of you that have lasted this long thank you.
