Message	This setup work like a charm! prevents any hose bulging and pressure build up in the cooling system, increasing cooling efficiency. Bascially its a closed loop system, you fill the air tight expansion tank about half full of water. when the system heats up and expands the water can divert into the tank compressing the air in the tank. thus relieving pressure in your cooling system. When at full operating temperature the level had risen to around 3/4 in the sight glass. WOW, you have a twin turbo! "Nah its a single".......oh...... "Its all good times until the single snail wants to join in"

As the fluid cools it will contract - jmt-z 14:34:16 03/11/12 Re: Expansion tank setup - Krazyd27(Houston) 10:58:18 03/11/12 Re: Expansion tank setup - itlnstln13 17:36:27 03/11/12
