I have a hose that goes to a header/swirl tank that is up high in the engine compartment from one of these (returns if my decrepid memory serves me right.) Also the line from the top of the radiator Ts into it. The header tank gets input from the intake manifold. The overflow from the header/swirl tank goes to an overlow tank to catch/return excess coolant as the engine heats and cools, but lets air/vapor/steam escape. I also have a bleeder valve inline from the intake to the header tank that is the highest point in the whole system to help insure that all the air has been displaced. To this point my cooling system has been without issue.

This may well be non applicable to the RF system, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Regards,
Lynn
