So this brings up the question of what to use for an overflow tank. I

bought

one of those $5
plastic jobs but then had second thoughts. In case of an engine fire

that

could really get to burning
and then let loose a quart of antifreeze to burn. I recall somebody had

used

a Morroso aluminum
tank that looked way cool but I have not been able to find one. Anybody

got

any other ideas?

About a one gallon solvent or paint thinner can. Not fancy but probably

functional.

I would make sure that the tank, and mounting method were capable of
sustaining
the g-loads for the particulat A/C.  Aluminum will burn too, just a higher
temp
than the plastic.  All you would loose is the coolant in the tank.  And of
course
anything rubber, or teflon (hoses) without fire protection will burn as
well.

Aint this fun?
