34-40, thanks for the kind words.
Roger, no disrespect intended and I’m not doubting your method, I’ve used that same method for years.
Unfortunately, this time it simply was not working for me. Occasionally on a hot day the tank would spill over, sometimes I wouldn’t notice it and it would suck air back.
My OCD would not except that as OK, even occasionally, the what ifs set in and worried me (what if it overheats, what if a pet drinks the spillage). I really didn't like the idea of the tank not working correctly, but I liked the looks of the way cool chrome tube. So, not having the space to change the tank to a bigger way cool chrome tube, I compromised and added the catch can tucked up out of site for additional fluid storage.
It gives no trouble now, it was a simple inexpensive fix, less than the cost of the antifreeze I was spilling and it took only a few minutes to do. It is now working perfectly and there is less of a chance of a pet drinking any spilled antifreeze.
Finally I can sleep, my OCD is satisfied, the world is a safer place.
