for next - if you dont want delete air from "apendiks pimp" - take cuprum tube from "home air condition" and t-piece -than connect "apendiks tube" and "way in" of "cooling tank"....

From the picture it looks like the idea is as coolant expands it gets pushed out and into the plastic bottle, on cooling down the contacting water creates a symphon to draw the water back into the system. Thus avoiding having to top up regularly. But then again I could be totally wrong

Its a sealed system, otherwise you can't create the necessary pressure to increase heat transfer, so no way can it be a syphon process as that requires that the syphon container to be open! The above picture just appears to me to be a collection bottle, so if the pressure cap opens the water is stored in the bottle and can be manually poured back in if required or just simply work as an indicator that you have over pressurised...

NO! all wrong...I talk about connect that

and "way in" cooling tank...use T-connector

and cuprum tube
after that you be onlu pour antfreeze on tank and dont open cap at "apendiks tube" and air be delete autonomously

I believe the t piece is connected to the end of the bleed tube. An automatic bleed process?
I'm with Geof that the bottle Is for indicating an over pressure, I have one with a float switch connected to an Led in the cab.

it bottle use at hot summer, after "hard-fast drive" - when you stop engine - antifreeze may local boil in engine - caps valve be open - antifreeze may go out....next situation - if you crash head engine-for go home you must delete termostat and open lowermost gasket of cap cool tank - bottle be catch antifreeze

for next - if in "long trip" cooling sistem leak - and you dont have "stop leak"

- I use mustard

- mix with antifreeze and pour into radiator

check glow plug and install transparent tube (from moto) on fuel pump - check air into fuel...

Look on the bright side.......what would have been the result if you had no coolant alarm??
