DOMESTIC HOT WATER TANK CONNECTIONS
HOT WATER HEATER ABOVE THE ENGINE
If any portion of the heating circuit rises above the engine's
own pressure cap, the a pressurized (aluruinum) remote
expansion tank must be installed in the circuit to become the
highest point. The remote expansion tanks part number is
24177. Tee the remote expansion tank into the heater circuit .
at the heater connection, choosing the higher of the two for
the retum. Tee right at the heater and plumb a single line up
to the tanks location and the other back to the engine's flow
control. Install the remote expansion tank in a convenient
location
such as in a sail locker so the fresh water coolant
level
can easily be checked. The remote expansion ian!<: will
now serve as a check and system fill point. The plastic
coolant
recovery tank is not used when the remote expansion
tank kit is installed, since this tank serves the same function.
The pressure cap on the engine's manifold should be
installed
once the engine's cooling system is filled with
coolant. Finish filling the cooling system from the remote
taDk once the system is filled and is free of air and eXhibits
good coolant circulation. During engine operation, checking
the engine's coolant should be done at the remote tank and
not at the engine manifold cap.
The hose connection from the heater to the remote
expansion tank
should be routed and supported so as to rise
continuously from the heater to the tank, enabling any air in .
the system to rise. .
