Dear Paul
      Would  a 3'' dia water collection bottle be o.k that is the dia bottle I make up for the subarus.Do you need all that alum tubing comming out of the bottle or would  a1'' NPT bung fitting welded on the bottom be ok. This way you could firewall mount the bottle and screw in the needed angle fittings to make direct neat connections. My bottles have rounded tops and I use a billet small filler neck I can also weld on an alum angle iron mount.On another subject what do you think of my ideas  on the discovery channel  rotary eng  into aircraft installation do you think we have enough people interested.
                                                                                                                                                                                                   Regards


The problem with the Kis is there is not a lot of room above
the water pump. I think I need as large a water rez as I can fit in there. Can you roll
up some aluminum sheet and make a 4" dia tank. Good idea on the hose
connection from the bottom of the tank to the 1.5 inch pipe between the
rad and the water pump intake. Will add a bit of flexibility. 

How about AN -10 Use a 1/2" NPT bung on the bottom of the tank and 
one on the 1/5 inch pipe? Line them up more or less so I can use straight
AN fittings. No angles. I don't think it needs to be any bigger than that 
as there is no real flow through it. 
 
BTW I need a 25 psi pressure cap. Can you get 25 psi pressure caps in the
small filler neck size? If not I need the large pressure cap.
I am not happy with the quality of the  pressure caps I have seen. 
This is a mission critical part of the cooling system.
Some one needs to make a high quality high reliability version.
