I was just planning to run my return lines to a 1 gallon resevoir which will gravity feed the Johnson pump and then the pump will push the fluid through the entire system and back to the resevoir. I plan to test it out this weekend, but if someone with more knowledge on this subject thinks it's a bad idea, please let me know.
That thought crossed my mind, but I have no idea what kind of presseue the I/C system could run on a hot day. I am installing fan's and a temp. gauge on the heat exchanger so I can keep an eye on it. Another idea was just to leave the small (overflow) hose connected to the OEM tank, the new small tank has the site hose on it to check the level. But if the I/C system was to burp coolant thur it into the OEM tank, I'd have to keep an eye on OEM tank to make sure it was not getting to full.
