my plymouth duster has no overflow tank for the radiator, what is your idea about it? should I install an aftermarket tank or is it a waste of time and money an is that tank not really neccesary? |

I have used regular plastic soda bottles as a catch can, with the tube down to the bottom of the bottle. Or, I've used a Nalgene chemical wash bottle with a tube integral. Doesn't hurt to have it, and it's almost free. Lou |

If you have the big top tank, you don't need the overflow; just don't fill the water to the neck. |

Having an overflow keeps your radiator filled to the brim at all times/all temperatures which can be seriously beneficial over the long term for avoiding having air help cause corrosion inside the radiator. I just have a radiator fluid container with a hole punched in the cap that the tube goes down into. It's wedged in right behind the grill to the side of the radiator. |

Fab one up for the simple reason you won't have coolant dripping onto the ground... |

ok! I'll go for the bottle then. I've found a mopar reservoir lying in the trunk, which made me look for the place where it should be mounted and then I found out that this car did not have one so all I need to do is find a place to mount it, fab some bracket and install it. thanks for the advice guys!
