Expansion tank

Can someone confirm if i block off these 2 spare outlets, i've got it piped up correctly?

I've got the very top one going to the bleed outlet on the thermostat.



Cheers.

Dave

No, the top one is overflow. Blank one and move the top pipe to the other

Leave the pipe off or use a bit of pipe with the other end open near the ground

quick question...will your nose cone cover the rad cap? ie can you remove the cap without removing the nose cone?





just because you are a character, doesnt mean you have character....

for all your bespoke parts, ali welding, waterjet, laser, folding, turning, milling, composite work, spraying, anodising and cad drawing....

u2u me for details

looking the pics again ( i was on my phoen last night) im not keen on the top rad pipe, would be worried about air getting trapped there.

That was my thoughts too, so i've put a vent in it. I can't have the tank any higher, and the pipe won't really go any lower, unless i take it really low, but it got dark. May have a rethink today.

Thanks for the tips
