Overflow tank
Many thanks Phil, Bob and Robert for the kind words
The tank does make a diiference there is no doubt about it. I did have it hooked up till recently.
What was happening was the water was expanding into the tank but the blockage prevented the return of fluid back into the radiator when the system cooled down.
Foolishly, I checked the radiator level each time and kept topping it up a bit. However I did not check the over flow tank level (which is difficult when you cant see through steel) Probably should have tapped on the outside for hollow sound
Over time the overflow tank filled up and the coolant had no where to go but out of the cap and all over the engine.
When the system worked properly, it was terrific. Certainly did not loose coolant.
