[ROVERNET - UK] P6B Expanison tank

[Slatskars]

Geff,

It gives a little more capacity and is a reservoir for the fluid that would 
normally go out the over flow hose. When engine warms up the expanded fluid 
goes into these containers and when cool it can flow back into the radiator 
by suction.They became somewhat standard equipment in the 80's. A visit to 
the wrecking yard would probably yield many of these containers. From there 
it is just a matter of the flow-thru cap and a section of tubing.
