"Custom" radiator overflowbottle
Not the best stuff, but it's got a big enough bottle to get the job done. |

Re: "Custom" radiator overflowbottle
It's a good way to recylce..... But you think there's a possibility of the bottle breaking if overheated water is introduced into it in a cold day? Just a thought.

Re: "Custom" radiator overflowbottle
Not sure about twist offs, but the reusable bottles had to be heated to 165 degrees to kill all bacteria before filling.
I was thinking of making a bracket to hold a washer fluid jug and drill a hole in a cap so I could just change out the jug instead of filling the thimble sized original equipment jug 47 times and having half full jugs in my toolbox taking up space. I know it will look a bit tacky but it's my truck, not yours so shut it!! J/K Dan

In theory yes, but with under hood heat I'm sure the bottle would be fairly warm as it is. We;ll see when the day comes. But I've got a big nasty aluminum rad, it's gonna take some serious heat to over heat that monster. Quote:

Re: "Custom" radiator overflowbottle
Cold day, we have those here in Texas?
Man, I hear you on that one. I'm taking the boat out Thursday. Supposed to be in the 70's. I'm just hoping there's water in the lake. |

Re: "Custom" radiator overflowbottle
I like it, I rigged up a black label Southern Comfort bottle for mine, just zip-tied it to the core support. Wish I had a picture on hand though it does look a little redneck, the bike holder on yours actually looks a little more "professional" .

Re: "Custom" radiator overflowbottle
I know I'm not a subscriber, but I found a couple of NOS overflow bottles at the house. I'll let em go for $35.00 a piece.
