Losing coolant

[Leroy Eckert]

I cannot trace the lines on mine now because it is cold and raining. If there is any puking it will hit the ground I know that for sure. So a recovery or holding tank is a misnomer. I think Greg is correct. It probably is what would be termed the outlet tank(cooled water) on an auto radiator. I looked in my BB manual and it is called a surge tank and states it should be filled to the top. That would prove Greg's analysis that it is in fact a part of the radiator. My genset coolant system is a mini version of this system. Recovery tanks are not pressurized.

I am thinking the Detroit design of 7 psi is for an application where the coach builder actually uses a recovery tank. (My 525hp cummins has a 4.5 lb cap and recovery puke tank) I like recovery systems with lower psi because there is no air in the system like must be in the stainless steel tank to accomindate the expansion of r fluids????? there is a small line from the ss tank to the top of the actual radiator who's purpose is to pass trapped air from rad to sstank????? (what do you think Leroy) we need a new name for the 'puke tank',,, "Remote radiator fill tank"?
