Feesable way to install ej18 radiator to 22t fill tank? PIC

Post by my3awds »

I'm trying to route the coolant fill tank to my ej18 radiator and was thinking this would be the correct routing. Can anyone help me make sure this would work?

I'm actually using a metal wrx coolant fill tank, but the bungs are pretty much the same.

Thanks~

Yep, That's the way you do it. I see you even have the pressure release on the cap covered...

Thanks alot. Since I have to reroute this fill bottle, it doesn't seem safe just to zip tie it off since it's pressurized right? Guess I'll have to mount it for security...

Appreciate the help~

Don't bother cutting the spring; you'd have to disable both valves to do it right and they're not easy to get to. Just remove the lower gasket as I've described in other threads about this topic.

oops. I didn't see that it said cut spring on my first read. I pull the rubber sealing ring, which is what I think VRG suggests elsewhere...

Yup. Just make sure you leave the upper gasket in place.
