Abstract
A coolant system for an internal combustion engine equipped with a radiator, involving the use of a reservoir utilized in a semi-hermetically sealed relationship with the engine and radiator, such that only rarely does additional coolant liquid need be added to the coolant system. This system has the safety of a pressure cap set to release in the pressure range of between 10 and 20 pounds per square inch, but no readmission valve is utilized in the cap, thus excluding unwanted atmospheric air from the coolant system. The reservoir is preferably insulated and of elongate configuration.
