Re: Coolant overflowing from cap
Quote:
A recovery system is plumbed in such a way that the fluid can vacuum return typically a hose extending to the bottom and maintains a minimum fluid level in the recovery tank as well. A catch can only catches it and does not have a return path and may easily be empty. If you have modified the cooling system in such a way as the fluid can return (tank and recovery cap) then yes fill it to the top and enjoy a little more heat rejection. But if there is not a path then use the factory level as intended to reduce the venting from the closed system to the ground or catch can.
