We have just in effect eliminated the traditional over flow system since
nobody
seems to like it :) Just so everybody is on the same page there four systems
under discussion.

1)The traditional coolant recovery tank system AKA the over flow system.
 Been around for 50 years.

2)The pressure tank system. Continental, Dave Leonard, Al Gietzen,
 Mazda, Mercedes, Volvo, P51, P38, etc., etc.. with pressure relief.

3)The piston accumulator system with out pressure relief below the piston.
 (Air on top.)

4)Variation on 3. with pressure relief below the piston. Jerry Hey's idea.


Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

Paul sorry I'm sure I did not say that you should not have pressure
relief. I thought
I said right from the beginning you must have pressure relief, to
counter the worst
case scenario. even in option 2 there is pressure relief. It must be
able to deal
with the worst case. It would be just plain dangerous not to.
