CONTAINER-COOLANT RECOVERY-GAS ENGINES
DESCRIPTION
The coolant reserve/overflow tank is mounted on top
of the fan shroud, and is made of high temperature
plastic.
OPERATION
The coolant reserve/overflow system works in con-
junction with the radiator pressure cap. It utilizes ther-
mal expansion and contraction of coolant to keep
coolant free of trapped air. It provides a volume for
expansion and contraction of coolant. It also provides
a convenient and safe method for checking coolant
level and adjusting level at atmospheric pressure. This
is done without removing the radiator pressure cap.
The system also provides some reserve coolant to the
radiator to cover minor leaks and evaporation or boil-
ing losses.
As the engine cools, a vacuum is formed in the cool-
ing system of both the radiator and engine. Coolant
will then be drawn from the coolant tank and returned
to a proper level in the radiator.
