Not very much. Off the top of my head, I'd say maybe 400 mL. Why do you ask?

I have a finned cylindrical oil cooler made of polished Al., and I'm trying to decide about making it into a unique coolant tank.

It's probably got enough volume. The hard part is just mounting it such that it's the highest point in the cooling system while still connecting to the other hoses without creating any "high points" where air bubbles can get stuck.
