This installation removes air from your coolant system resulting in a larger capacity. Each time your engine is hot the coolant will expand into the jug assembly. This is not the same as boiling over. If your system is boiling over, there is another problem present. When the engine cools, the coolant will contract and suck coolant from the jug. Initially there will be considerable air in your coolant system. Since the air is compressible, it will seem like the jug assembly is not working properly. Several heating/cooling cycles will be required to remove the air from the coolant system. Keep the coolant level in the jug above the “full when cold” level but do not over fill especially when cold. If the jug runs dry air will be sucked into the coolant system defeating the purpose of the coolant recovery tank. Once the air is completely removed from the coolant system, you will see the level in the jug rise approximately 2 inches as the engine heats up. 13 lb cap is recommended
This fit well and was simple to install but I was dîssapointed with the quality. It looks like a cheap add on in my otherwise pristine engine bay. Competitive stainless tube types look much better, are less expensive and and look like they could belong there. Two stars for fit and ease of install but thats where it ends.

Love it
This is a well engineered part that every bird owner should have. Great job.

Coolant recovery kit
I just received and installed the coolant recovery kit from Casco. Their delivery was prompt as usual, instructions were detailed and easy to follow. The kit fit well and was easy to install.
