[DeTomaso] Capacity of overflow tank

[Jack Donahue]

Along those same lines, I have the stock set-up. So now it's terminology, I think. I hear people on The List refer to "swirl tanks", "over-flow tanks", and "expansion chambers". Are we talking about the same things? Please delineate the differences. Getting confused as to how many tanks we need, or are they all different names for the same tank? 
Confused.

If you overfill it, it will chuck out the excess until it finds its happy spot, but then might chuck out a bit more on an especially hot day, which can be embarrassing.  The conventional wisdom seems to be to run it at 50% or thereabouts.

Make sure you create a longer hose and route it to the rear of the car, so you cause some OTHER poor slob to wreck instead of you! :>)
