coolant reservoir - not urgent - see last post :)

Post by tamadrumr88 » Tue Dec 27, 2005 7:45 am

i need to know right now cuz im doing my longtube and WILL need to relocate and get a new coolant reservoir. im arguing with my dad that temporarily i can just run it to a 20oz mountain dew bottle but he says no i shouldnt do that, it all depends on if its pressurized or not..... and how do i tell????

Yuppers...they are correct....it is NOT pressurized. I have seen many cases of the 20oz pop bottle overflow tank.....

Is 20 oz enough though? It seems like, in my Neon, there is a lot more than 20 oz of coolant in the reservoir once it's hot.

um, i've been using a 20oz hard plastic bottle for about a month or two. No problems with it whatsoever. :) Check out my turbo pics under the Forced Induction area to see where it is.
