Re: coolant recovery question

You only need a single outlet tank. If you use a lower only you really don't have to keep a minimum fluid level in it. If it only goes in and out through the top it must have a pickup extending to the bottom of the tank. Finally the radiator needs to be overfilled to actually work correctly vs the stock 2" down. Remember a catch can is just a puke tank to catch an overflow, while a recover system is also able to return fluid to the radiator under cooling vacuum after shutdown.
