I saw it on his mock up truck custom tank of course. Had the low side a/c lines run into it and what looked like the a/c asem off of a van or burban with the rear air looked like it was a oem piece for sure. Cost I would not know would be best in a kit form for sure and would be best for the southern states or for those of you using it in a strip set up.

I should have waited but I already bought one of these a month ago.......
I have a -10 push lock fitting that is 5/8". How can I get that to 3/4" on the TVS?

Tank fittings can be changed 10x12 expander or use a hose clamp on a 10 push loc.

Care needs to bevsken when removing, tightening, or loosening fitting and hose ends.
It's a composit tank not metal.

I wish I wouldn't have just went and bought the -10 push lock fittings now. I see now where you can buy -10 to -12 adapters. -12 would be 3/4"?

Got my new tank looks great. Got it in one thing. It has a vent hole in the lid? Should that be there? No way to pressurizer the system. Get the pump going and coolant comes out the vent. Put duck tap over the vent and it did fine. The small tank over the pump will not stay full if you do not cover the hole but will if you cover the hole.Plug the hole? Wrong lid? Wrong tank? This tank has a screw on lid dose not look like the tank in the pic.

This is it

Am I doing something wrong?

Hmm,, not sure. the lid is vented so it does not pressurize the tank. Look on the bottom of the lid, and make sure its not just a straight hole. It should look sealed from the bottom.
How full is your tank? I have not seen or heard of this. Same lid on all the tanks.
Give a call so we can go over this if you have time. 940-781-5204

Got around a inch of air space in there. Any more and it comes out the hole. Hole is straight through no seal. Called three times all I get is the answering machine.

Ok, pm me your number and I will call you. Sound like a bad cap. I will give you a call today, once I get your number to go this. I just took a tank plugged the holes and filled to the top of the tank. Leaving air in the filler area. Shook shook and shook, no leak. Tipped over a stream started (to be expected it's vented.) then went to a drip. That is how the lid should work.

Looking forward to talking to you. If you ever call and I don't answer please leave a message. If I am welding or running a machine I do not answer the phone.

My lid is the same. I haven't run coolant through it yet though. I assumed it was a over pressure valve or something. The coolant system on the blower only runs about 10psi I think...
