Default show me your Overflow tank

Hello all,

I am looking to install a overflow tank 13" x 2".

I am trying to figureout the best place to mount and what to use to mount the overflow tank.

If you have pics of your engine compartment please post so I can get some ideas.

Thanks

BTW, is a overflow tank needed with a expansion tank?

Not quite 13" x 2", but close enough.

baby refuses to burp

Check out the thread above. Some good ideas from several guys in there. Mine works absolutely perfectly and the surge tank is always full and no leaks/spills on the ground.

"No" for the street. "Yes" for the track.

Default Tank Info

at the risk of being accused of hyjacking a thread, do these tanks have to be mounted at a particular height in relation to the puke tank to make the overflow-reflow function work?

Or are these solely catch tanks?
