I plan to have the output of the radiator exit down, with a tee.  I=E2=80=99=
m going to put a drip leg, then take the air out of the side of the tee. =
 That will feed into my filter/moisture separator, hopefully the liquid =
will run down into the drip leg.

I=E2=80=99ll post pictures and results when I get it all plumbed.
