this may be a duplicate post, and if so, i apologize, but i don't see what i thought i had posted in this forum anywhere.
i had to change out my overflow tank today and in doing so, i noticed these unusual plumbing valves in hoses attaching to the tank. i'm pretty sure that they aren't OEM (but of course there are good chances that i am in error). i have attached two pictures of the hose and valve on the hose attaching to the rear most part of the tank, and one picture of the hose that attaches to the upper front nipple on the tank (which is the ne that finally gave up and broke away from the tank body). i would appreciate knowing what you believe them to be and what the proper combination of open/close of the valves should be. needless to say, i have no idea. thanks on advance for the information and proper settings of the valves>
steve this system is to separate the water system (factory system goes through the radiator),( to lower IAT"s.. the tank, the heat exchanger and the motor with those valves closed the water in the heater never goes through the radiator ,,,it goes from the inter cooler pump to under the supercharger to the intercooler then to the heat exchanger then back to the intercooler pump remember on my car i had the killer chiller and my iat were 45 to 60 degrees most of the time yet my engine temp was 190. ,,you could have used a limited tank (as it only has one hose connection ) and saved about $100.00 jim

If you use the NA tank you would need to fill the IC cooling circuit separately, easy if you have the BMW tank fitted, not so easy if you do not. Would that be a correct interpretation as I am not really familiar with the cooling circuit?
that is correct, i had forgotten that because i had a 2.5 gal tank in place of my Battery(which was relocated into the trunk)
my tank had a 3" vented cover , i could add water or ice. no that was the highest point ever for the water system
what is this??
