Thread: Anyone running one of these puke tanks on the front of their hot rod?

That puke tank will only catch any fluid that gets out, If you want a proper coolant recovery system you will need a different tank.

She already has a slimline recovery tank that starts off empty and usually stays that way, but on extremely hot days, it fills up and pukes about 12oz.



I just want to run a hose from the overflow tank to a catch tank so she doesn't spill anything on the ground

Yeah, I'm thinking two ports on the bottom for a cleaner look (one for the hose, one for the drain) and a vent port somewhere on the rear...

The vent would have to be as high as high as possible, be nice if you could put a chrome or stainless (non pressurized) cap on the top with the vent coming out the back
