I am looking for ideas on what folks are running for radiator overflow cans on their cars. I don't want to spend alot of money, but I would like something that doesn't look too out of place under the hood. What are you guys using?

instead of a coke can, you could try one of those NOS energy drink bottles..the cap even looks like the real thing.

I used some generic windshield washer bottle. I picked it up at a swap meet for a buck. A couple fo OEM type screws and it looked like it was supposed to be on the core support.

I use the ground.


Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

I use the $20 auto supply store generic tank and cage. Top of the pic. I tried the fancy polished Hot Rod tube tanks but they do not hold enough.

I bought the plastic one from Summit and mounted it in the wheel well. Drilled a hole near the battery big enough for the hose to go through and a rubber grommet in the hole so the hose dosen't get cut from vibration. Its out of site and still accessible to drain. Just a Thought.
