The Pegasus catalog lists an Aluminum surge tank with filler neck. A surge
tank should be mounted higher than the top of the radiator, or at least
higher than the head to ensure complete filling and removal of trapped air.
They also have catch tanks, either cheapo plastic (I use a sports bottle),
or fancy Aluminum with a drain valve. I think they may have multi-chamber
catch tanks, but I don't have the catalog in front of me now. The catalog
is not online, but you can request one at http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/ 
It's a great catalog. No financial interest, etc.
