[DeTomaso] "thar she blows!"...

And that's exactly why I dropped off my swirl tank to a radiator shop  
today.  It's going to get a nice new American water neck.  The guy  
there even asked me what pressure I wanted to run, and I told him  
13-16 lb.  He nodded, wrote it up and took the tank through the door.   
Handed me a card and said see you tomorrow.

The only big difference will be the overflow fitting will be much  
smaller, not the humongous one like is on there now.

And I'll be putting a brand new pressure cap on too.
