Re: Old fire extinguisher over flow tank

never made one from an old fire extinguisher but....all you need is a bottle...like a fire ext. and a hose run from your over flow from the rad. into the bottle about 2 " off the bottom or less , and put it about half full of antifreeze . i have made them out of old antifreeze jugs before, and stuck it by the battery...as low as i could go....maybe this will help....

I would try to rig it so that your hose from the radiator appears to be the hose from the fire extiguisher, if you know what I mean. That would look cool.
