on my old car I forgot to turn the pump on one time and a 8 ballooned the plaastic fuel tank I was using so bad it pushed a body panel off by ripping and tearing the .062 alum at the Dutz fasteners
PP the line from the radiator in a box is a 16, the storage tank is non pressurized with an 8 for a vent on my new system. I have an alum tank much like yours a 12 for a vent and I have plans to add another 12
I went back to check and may have over looked---How is the radiator and this tank plumbed?
If you have an ice cooler for the induction air presumably that gets drained and refilled bewteen runs - could that water go in the big resevoir tank and bring the engine coolant temp down a little faster?I am designing with a pressurised radiator mounted in a non-pressurised tank of water acting as a heat sink. That heat sink tank will probably have a circulating pump. My expectation is that a drain outlet would be used to take off a few gallons after a run and replace that 'hot water' with the water from the intercooler which started as iced but even if it is all melted it will be colder than what came out of the radiator heat sink tank.I am using the term intercooler loosely as I will be running naturally aspirated. That 'intercooler' is still on the drawing board.
