Coolant Overflow Tank Options.
Powerhouse:
I checked out that Bothers link & that is a nice piece. Just yesterday I was looking @ my puke tank and noticed it was cracked & brownish discolored plastic & looking spent. The fins on this piece look like they might help dissipate the heat?
I'm going to give it a try.
Thanks for the idea Spool.
Powerhouse:
Although I did notice the volume in oz's is not listed in the ad. The 16 x 3 dimensions appear to include the fins, so I am wondering if it is around 48 ozs, or possibly less. I will try to contact Brothers for an answer.
Spool:
Hey Powerhouse.
Very good point on the dimensions including the fins...
HOWEVER, my buddy just pointed out that the link to Brothers is not a puke tank, but a transmission cooler which serves a different function?
It clearly states transmission cooler, but I had thought it was just another reference name.
Perhaps, I'll fall back on something similar to the original stainless steel puke tank I shared.
But, I'll certainly be looking for 3'' by 16'' in size.
For me, I see a lot of the puke tanks online have a not so pretty weld for the mount to the tank.
So, this is something that will weigh heavy in my decision to purchase.

Update:
Purchases I've made. I'll be back after installation with any tips or errors.

Nice looking unit!
Seems like the tubing is quite small, but I guess it doesn't need to be the huge volume tube like the factory.
