Gurus,
I finally got my tank replaced. (My Arize technology plastic tank failed near one of the mounting straps).
I polished the tank and since the top and bottom were irregular, I primed and painted them semi-gloss black to match the rest of the engine bay.
I also primed and painted the mounting straps to match.
The sight glass is made from 3/8” OD polycarbonate solid tubing. It is rated for 250F degrees and is connected to tank with 3/8” ID radiator tubing (from Oreilly).
The tank came with a cap, and since I didn’t know if it vented....I drilled a hole in it. (Now it vents for sure)
I am very happy with the way this came together. Thanks to Steve for figuring out a great replacement for the Arize tank.
Cheers,
Bill
