[Tigers] correct length

[coolvt at aol.com]

Ron,I keep mine filled about 1/2 way in the expansion tank and it never hits the overflow tube.  But, if I filled to the top I'm sure it would. I might experiment with  a catch bottle and added coolant. Maybe someone else can chime in on the subject.Mark

                You might be able to fill the header tank higher.   I have not specifically tried that.

 

I have the overflow hose in a catch bottle.   I did nothing special with this configuration.  Antifreeze flows into the catch bottle and as the engine cools, the antifreeze get sucked back into the header tank so it acts like a recovery system.

Ron,

By using the "catch bottle" that you mention, does that allow you to fill the overflow tank to a higher level and thus, add additional coolant to the entire system?  Mark L

Header tank overflow pipe         9233561                5/16” black tube just under radiator cap

9178502                clip – overflow pipe to header tank

P.49294                clip – overflow pipe

 

Anyone know the original length of this overflow pipe?

 

Mine is 21.5” long but I remember cutting a split and cracked end off.

 

Also does anyone have a picture of the original route for this tube and the position of the 2 clips?

 

My overflow pipe goes to a catch bottle in the left front corner now and I don’t recall if I ever had the original clips.

 

Thanks

Ron Fraser
