 Engine coolant temperature will be determined by the thermostat and the ra=
diator cap relief pressure.=20

Also depends on the ambient temperature and heat from the engine, cooling s=
ide fouling, the heat transfer around the radiator.=20

Ideally the overflow tank should be large enough to handle the volume chang=
e of the coolant from cold to hot. Typically this is about a quart and tank=
s are usually 2-3 times that.=20

Do a good flush, Run on distilled water for a bit so scaling is removed, dr=
ain, then fresh antifreeze mixture.=20

Will increasing the size of the radiator overflow tank increase coolant vol=
ume, thus help keep temperature cooler?
Thanks!
