The big advantage is, it's designed to be a sealed system without a 'burp' vessel. The cap on the bottle is the pressure cap. This means that air pressure in the top of the tank forces fluid back into the engine/radiator as it cools. The cooling loop is always pressurized. Because it's translucent and part of the pressurized system, you can tell at a glance whether your system is truly full of coolant. ===> That does sound nice. I wonder if you can buy them new? The 3rd gen RX-7 AST's have a nasty habit of cracking as they get older, so I don't think I'd want anything old, plastic, and under pressure. Now that I think about it, I restored a '65 Corvette that had a similar sounding tank, but it was aluminum. Cheers, Rusty
