Thread: Overflow Tank

Tweet

I have the typical radiator with an overflow tube coming out of the neck. I think 3/8". I don't know what was used before for the connection to the SS overflow tank but it is significantly smaller tube. Is there a reducer that these tanks use for hooking up the diff. size hoses?

Your local NAPA or Auto Zone will have some plastic or nylon tube adapters for a buck or two. I used brass PEX fittings for mine from Home Depot plus a molded preformed hose. The hose is Jeg's 'similar to' braided SS
