Coolant tank – version 3

09 Mar 2006 Coolant tank – version 3

I hope this is the final version of the coolant tank. This is the second one I had built at Canton Racing (http://www.cantonracing.com/), and it is as nice as the first one. The first one was too big.

Here are the sketches I sent to Canton Racing:

Here is the finished product:

Note that I have a sensor to tell me if the coolant level is too low. I’m not sure how well this will work out in practice, since this is an optical sensor and there will be fluid flowing through this expansion tank all the time, but it’s probably better than nothing. At least it should tell me if the tank is dry before I start up.
