Installation notes
Mount the reservoir upright, away from exhaust heat, with the sight tube where you can see it. Use hose that suits the fittings and the fluid, secure every hose with a clamp, and check for leaks once the engine is up to temperature. Never open a cooling system while it is hot. If you need it plumbed into your cooling system, the Menin Motorsport workshop in Pretoria can fit it for you.
