This is my coolant layout - the 2" dia alum tube next to smaller blue tube has my Stand Radiator cap.  Coolant pressure sensor is shown about 2/3 down the tube.  A clear  plastic hose comes out of the radiator cap overflow tube and is plumbed to the bottom of the second 2" dia aluminum tube which acts as my over flow can.  Once the coolant system cools down any fluid in the overflow can is drawn back through the radiator cap into the engine block.  The 2" dia overflow can is a bit on the small size - roughly a pint.  A quart would be better.  I ocassionally lose a small amount of coolant - particularly on hot days.
