Peter:
The terminology does get confusing.
I have seen the pressurized tank referred to as the (1) Expansion tank (eg: as used on the 427) (2) Header tank or (3) Fill tank.
I have seen the non pressurized tank for holding excess fluid described as the (1) Reservoir tank (2) Recovery tank or (3) Fill tank.
Finally, in those cases where the non pressurized tank simply catches fluid and does not siphon it back into the system, I have see it described as (1) Overflow tank (2) Catch tank.
Your description of how you bleed your sysem is functionally the same as mine. Your suggestion of a 3 liter catch tank / recovery tank sounds like good advice. I will likely follow suit and go with a larger non pressurized / recovery / catch tank than I had originally planned. Thanks.
