If you fit an airtight radiator cap and an overflow bottle with the
connection at the bottom, or a hose going in from the top but nearly
reaching the bottom, fill up around half way, the radiator will expell
the air and some coolant into the overflow bottle when heating up. After
cooling down it will suck back in coolant, no air, which in due time
will fill up the radiator 100%, if you keep the overflow bottle at half
level for a while.
