Coolant Recovery Bottle Explanation

COOLANT RECOVER BOTTLE DESCRIPTION
The coolant reserve/overflow system consists of a radiator mounted pressurized cap, a plastic coolant recovery bottle, a hose connecting the radiator and recovery bottle, and an overflow tube on the side of the bottle.

The reservoir bottle also has an anti-slosh insert located within the bottle, this insert will aid in reducing coolant loss from splash and spillage.

COOLANT RECOVERY BOTTLE OPERATION
The system works in conjunction with the radiator pressure cap. This is achieved by using thermal expansion and contraction of the coolant to keep the coolant free of trapped air. It provides:
A volume for coolant expansion and contraction.
A convenient and safe method for checking/adjusting coolant level at atmospheric pressure. This is done without removing the radiator pressure cap.
Some reserve coolant to the radiator to cover minor leaks and evaporation or boiling losses.
As the engine cools, a vacuum is formed in the cooling system of both the radiator and engine. Coolant will then be drawn from the coolant tank and returned to a proper level in the radiator.

COOLANT RECOVER BOTTLE REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the hose from radiator filler neck located below the radiator cap (Fig 1) #1.
2. Remove coolant recovery bottle (Fig 1) #3.
COOLANT RECOVER BOTTLE INSTALLATION
1. Position the tabs located on the coolant recovery container (Fig 1) #3 into the slots on the fan shroud.
2. Reconnect the overflow hose onto the radiator filler neck (Fig 1) #1.
3. Fill coolant recovery container (Fig 1) #3.
