A better looking coolant reservoir for your blower

I am getting a chrome maggie and didnt like the black plastic reservoir that is included in the kit...so i found this one from canton racing products it is slightly larger and a good looking tank. i purchased this from TORQ who is a distributor ,,also got the billet cover from them as well...i will be chroming it

Be very Careful, that must be the highest Point in your system in order to bleed out Air.

Canton Makes nice stuff we use it as well.

It is suppose to be on the Passenger side in the intercooler Outlet hose and be the Highest Point in the system.

Then feed directly in to the pump as short as Possible.

I know and we put them back on the pass side, they do it to clear the engine covers.

I would think that behind the rotofab intake would be too low..... If you look at that spot the hose would have to travel up to get to the maggie itself. Most people that put it on the drivers side mount it up by the brake booster which is higher.

I believe that's the wiper fluid reservoir that rotofab made a mount for...not the coolant. Don't want to pee on your wheaties but I'd listen to what Ted is trying to tell you.

pee on my wheaties...seriously?...i believe you are wrong....this is from mike at roto-fab

Steve,
If you look at our WW reservoir tanks you will have a very good idea of what this looks like when installed. The tank body and mounting location are identical-only the top and bottom are changed. Our S/C tank accepts the Magnuson lid and has the 3/4" hose nipples to accept the intercooler hoses.
Mike
