Steve, being the eternal optimist, has assumed that a vessel with a single
surface would unfailingly contain any fluid. However, wouldn't it be just
as likely that the converse would be true and the bottle would never hold
any fluid, in effect letting all its contents disappear into that "fourth
dimension"? I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm unwilling to take
those kinds of chances with my potent potables.

Larry,
You have challenged me to show that my educationally motivated response,
for your edification, to make a stupid post have some benefit to Tiger
owners.
I'd be glad to oblige, and accept your challenge.
There are many Tiger applications for the Klein Bottle -

Of course, a passivated stainless model, rather than glass, is advised.
1) A Master Cylinder reservoir! Once you fill it, no matter how bad
your brake servo seals get, you will not ever have to add any more
unobtainable Castrol LMA.
2) Dual stainless gas tanks, interconnected, that allow filling just one
of them, at it will automatically keep the other full, as well as never
let you run out of fuel, as it sucks it from the fourth dimension.
3) As you suggest, a replacement for the "expansion tank". Never need to
add fluids, and the same anti-freeze lasts forever.
4) For those everlastingly long rallies, a convenience in your cockpit
for storing those excess bodily fluids, and you never have to empty it.
5) And, saving the best until last, a favorite beverage holder that can
never be emptied.
That last one alone is priceless, even if you have no Tiger, but
essential for extended garage work, along with the bodily fluid
container. If you work out the plumbing connections properly, you can
"wear" both at once and strap it to your waist like those yuppie water
bottles.
Warning, per previous good post, do not allow the stainless to be in
contact with iron, or you may find it rusts.

Now, if those applications do not excite you, Larry, I have another
"personal" application for your "private" use that cannot be publicly
described to a family list.
