@Jan 20 2005, 08:16 ermm...according to a jap mag i have (translated by my jap friend) it's use mostly for the D1 gp for drifters. it's purpose is because the regulation is so strict that there CAN NOT be ANY spills of oil or water.. therefore, the item (i have a pic in the jap mag) is actually a WATER catch tank. it's to be placed inbetween the SPARE tank and the raidiator so that when the water temp is really high..boiling water will fill the catch tank and afterfthat the spare water tank and won't leak out the spare water tank.. correct me if i'm wrong...but that's what the mag says.. anyway, where are you located? i'm interested :D

u mind posting the pic bro? :D cheers! [/b][/quote] have you install on your CRV yet? can i come and take picture to share with others?

well sorta ... but not really. Below is a excerpt from a GTI-R website :

"Surge Tanks (Also known as expansion tanks, fill cans, header tanks ... bubble removal tank? hehehe).

Using a surge tank as part of a racecar cooling system is a very good decision. Any proper racecar cooling system will incorporate a surge tank. If used properly it is the very best way of filling your system, trapping air, and taking the cap out of the vulnerable areas where pressure surges can lift the cap off of the seat momentarily.

On the return side of your cooling system, pressure can surge as high as 45-50 psi. This is due to abrupt changes in water pump speed (RPM related) and characteristics of the heat cycle and circulation in your system. When the radiator cap is on the return side or anywhere on the radiator, it is susceptible to this condition. A surge tank isolates the cap from these areas.

The other advantage to a surge tank is, when mounted properly (high as possible and highest point in cooling system,) it serves as an air trap and means for expansion. By running a -10 AN line to the water pump and a -6 line from the highest point of the radiator to the top of the surge tank, this will draw air to the tank and trap it. By keeping a given air space in the tank, it allows for temperature expansion. "

Hope that helps the potential buyer(s) and seller. Gnite.
