Coolant Bottle relocator

[Fre530d]

Hello guys

 

So can anyone who has a coolant bottle relocator give me the measurements of that thing.

 

That would be nice because i want to make my own.

 

Thx in advance

you dont need the over flow bottle... just take the rubber hose form the rad cap and run it down your frame... pull the bottle off completely..

[Fre530d]

I will do that. :beer:

 

Will it not harm anything or spoil coolant?

Its just an expansion tank, so if you run your hose down the frame it will only spill on the ground if its overflows.

Most people take it off and don't even use it, but you need to keep an eye on your water level............. :beer:

I am going to use it because it's easy to check coolant level.

 

Can someone PLS give me the measurements.

Cant really help you either as I have ditched my bottle too... Don't be afraid to get rid of it. I did early last season and therfore had a full season of duning with no problems. Every once in a great while it would get hot a blow a little out but not bad.. This actually can help work as a warning sign. If your bike is blowing out ALLOT of coolant then you would know that you may have a problem somewhere. Otherwise as I stated before, I would only loose a little coolant under really high temps and when I did it was noticeable and easy to keep track of..

Ok I will ditch mine too :beer:

the ovrflow bottle wont give you an idea of the amount of fluid in your radiator... its simply and overflow catch... and once its in there it dosent go back into your radiator... so no point in having it...

[ClimbAnyHill]

i'm ditchin' mine too.. just remember to check your fluid levels before going out for that ride!

[csrmel]

the overflow does indeed send water back up to the radiator. my level in the overflow dropped about an ounce a day when my headgasket was blown. the radiator remained nearly full.

The bottle was designed to re-fill the radiator, BUT it doesnt I relocated mine about 4 years ago with zip ties. Relocating it just made more work, now I have to pull the plastic to get it out of there sometime when im bored. The bottle is kind of like president bush, was designed to do a job but just doesnt pull it off.

i relocated mine to the dumpster..

[Bansh-eman]

its designed to add water back in... how ever it doesnt becasue the radiator is pressurized.. only way it can create a sucktion is if the radiator is VERY low in which case the amount of fluid in that bottle isnt going to save you...
