<div class="gmail_default" style="COLOR:#3333ff">The system will draw coolant
back into the system from the expansion tank only if the end of the hose is
submerged in coolant, either because it enters the tank from the bottom or from
the top in which case, as Kimo points out, the hose clamps must be tight so that
the vacuum created within the radiator is preserved in order to draw
liquid.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE:10pt;FONT-FAMILY:"Times New Roman","serif"">Our Healey
Duncan has its original cooling system that is unpressurised. It’s assisted by
an electric fan in front of the radiator, but with our warmer climate it
persists is dumping its coolant out through the overflow
pipe.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE:10pt;FONT-FAMILY:"Times New Roman","serif"">The radiator
cap is a screw on type and the overflow pipe exits the radiator header tank
separately in front of the cap. Being unpressurised there is nothing to stop
the hot and expanded coolant from exiting via the overflow
pipe.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-SIZE:10pt;FONT-FAMILY:"Times New Roman","serif"">I am thinking
of fitting a coolant expansion bottle but am wondering if this will work on an
unpressurised system. It seems to me that it should not make any difference,
because if the coolant cannot escape to the outside world when it expands then
it should flow back into the radiator once it cools.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
