Instructions: Like most car parts, none of these products come with fitting instructions. Fitment would depend on your individual vehicle system.
Custom Tanks: We can only supply products exactly as they are detailed and photographed in the product description; unfortunately we are unable to produce an individual tank to a customers' own designs - our tanks are very competitively priced for such high quality items because we produce them on tooling on short production runs, rather than one at a time. Many previous customers have found it significantly more cost effective for them to have their machine shop modify one of our existing designs than to commission a complete tank elsewhere.

| |   This tank is designed for vehicles which do not have a pressure cap on the radiator, or require a pressure cap on the expansion tank. (If you do have a pressure cap on the radiator and want to fit this breather tank then you would need to replace it with a valveless cap (see radiator caps) or remove the valve from your current cap)
Unlike an expansion tank (which can be mounted anywhere) a breather tank must be mounted at the highest point of the cooling system to operate efficiently.
Prevents air locks and leaves room for expansion.
Tank is configured with twin inlets to suit some motorsport applications. If only one inlet is to be used then either block off the spare one, or use a T-Piece for an ultra-neat installation (Code: 687) |

These tanks were produced as a small run for a UK sports car manufacturer currently in receivership, to their pattern.
We have a few left. If you can use (or cut off) the mounting brackets then this is a superbly produced tank at a budget price. Doubtless with some imagination it could be used as a tank for a variety of purposes - power steering reservoir, washer tank etc.
