12.8) Requirements, feasible location and fitting position concerning radiator/
expansion tank/overflow bottle
See Fig. 22.
The expansion tank (1) must always be positioned at the highest point of the cooling
system.
■ CAUTION: If necessary, the radiator outlet opening (8) may be max. 1,5 m
(5 ft) above or below water inlet bend (5) on water pump (see Fig. 22).
◆ NOTE: On the standard engine version the expansion tank (1) is fitted on top
of the engine (see Fig. 22).
For proper operation of the cooling system the expansion tank (1) with pressure cap (2)
has to remain for all possible engine positions on the highest point of the cooling circuit.
▲ WARNING: The radiator has to be planned and installed such that the specified
operating temperatures are maintained and the max. values are
neither exceeded nor fall below.
This state has to be warranted for "hot day conditions" too!
If necessary take appropriate measures like changing size of radiator,
partial covering of radiator etc.
Additionally the system needs an overflow bottle (7) where surplus coolant is collected
and returned back into the circuit at the cooling down period.
