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.

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

Where does the top one (overflow?) go to??

Thanks for the quick reply!

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

Ok. Cheers

Ps its a header tank not an expansion tank as they work In different ways

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


David_17 - 6/10/10 at 09:28 AM

Yep, i've got plenty of clearance, i'll need a long funnel to fill it though.

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
