Forgot to mention one detail of filling through the top hose. When doing so, you can leave the output from the steam setup unhooked and fill until you get coolant from there. Then connect that, keep filling through top hose. Theoretically not necessary, but that usually gives me peace of mind that I got most or all the air out of the tops of the heads.

Where can I find your tanks Atomic!? Pictures and where can I order them. I'm shopping for a new bigger tank and ditching this little Aveo tank.

UPDATE: I rigged up my old stock coolant tank and haven't had a single problem yet. Problem solved.

Is that little tank vent hose pre or post cap?
Is it an overflow port.
