Coolant?

[blubeast]

Is the container behind the airbox an overflow for the coolant or the actual resavoir and is there a special coolant you have to buy or will water just work??

the reservoir back there is just the overflow... the radiator hold lots more...

 

And I run distilled water, Preston GREEN antifreeze, and water wetter...

 

If you live where it doesn't ever freeze then JUST Water can work (although I suggest water wetter also)

I wouldnt recommend running just water. You need to put some kind of coolant in there usually a 50/50 mix of coolant/distilled water. Adding coolant raises the temperatore at which the mixture will boil. Water on its own will boil sooner than a 50/50 mix.
