[Tigers] expansion bottle

[Steve Laifman]

Owain,

The standard plastic overflow bottles work fine IF YOU HAVE A PRESSURE 
CAP that has a relief valve.  Very common, and Stant makes one called 
"Lev-R-Release" that lets you release pent up pressure without boiling 
up all over you without the Lever.  Ask me how I know (: -(

The local Pep Boys has the overflow bottles in half-quart size.  I was 
able to mount one inside the engine compartment, AND another in the left 
fender well in parallel.
