To overflow or to not overflow

[HUNTD]

I am getting sick of topping up my radiator fluid. What does everyone recomend/do? Is it just a case of stfu and fill that shit up or get a overflow. Would i need to get another radiator cap if i had an overflow bottle?

Im tempted jsut to rangi up some bottle just to catch all that precious coolant that drips out

Is it even meant to do this?

perfectly normal , itll just keep doing it.....you can just go 'fuckit' if you want because itll get to a certain level then stop emptying . or u could 'rangi' up some botlle and get the hose on the rad to go into the bottom of it , then half fill the bottle with coolant , cap should be fine , so long as it has a vacuum cap , (look at the bottm and in the center there will be a flap type thing ) , if it does she'll be sweeeeet

you can get a tidy factory looking overflow tank from supercheap for $10 looks alot tidier than a beer can or fizzy bottle. also check your rad cap as it might be bit sad in the spring/seal area and could be bypassing more than it needs to

I have a Sprite Zero bottle. Works a treat, although the water got so hot that the bottle warped :S

Make sure you have a radiator cap with the right pressure rating bro, mine used to have that problem..

Oh yea if it is right but coolant still comes out, then theres probably a little bit too much in the radiator. It'll emtpy out as much as it needs and then its sweet.
