Coolant recovery

[wildphil]

I am trying to find a place to mount a recovery tank. The alky control tank took the spot of the OEM coolant tank.

I have a large aluminum radiator that takes up a lot of space in the front. A oil filter for my turbo is mounted in the stock air box location.

I am hoping for a few ideas on what type of tank to use and were locate it.

Pics would be very helpful. Thanks

If you have gone to an on the block filter, the tank from a 88-89 2.8l blazer/jimmy will mount where the on the remote filter used to be

Re: Coolant recovery

Look up "aluminum coolant recovery" on Ebay parts, look for a long tube aluminum "street rod type". They work great, using one on my Ty. Try item #150513998887 or #130776996812

Re: Coolant recovery

I deleted the ABS. But at that location. I have a bracket with the electric fan controls, resetting fuses and a electric junction box.

There is room for a very small tank there. Maybe one from a motorcycle.

My battery has been lowered. There may be room in this area. On the header panel. Next to the radiator. Facing the cobra elbow that is coming from the turbo. It would need to be no larger than a 2" dia. This one may work. But one a couple of inches shorter would clear the hard lines coming through the header panel down low.
