As coolant gets hot, it expands. Since the cooling system is sealed, this expansion causes an increase in pressure in the cooling system, which is normal and part of the design. When coolant is under

A closed system is rather the same as a conventional system with an overflow bottle. The difference is that in a conventional system the overflow bottle is not pressurized while the cooling system is

All modern cooling systems are closed. It does not matter where the pressure cap is located, (radiator or catch tank) the effect is the same, as to pressure in the system. Herb Miller --Original Mess

A special radiator cap is NOW not necessary. I worried for 20 years using an overflow container that would preventembarrassing spots under the parked Healey; worked briefly BUT the fluid would not 's

FWIW, on my E-Type, it will ALWAYS overflow if you keep filling it up to the top. What it wants to do, and what I let it do, is to boil off until it reaches the level it wants--then I do not add more

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 wil
