Just a thought about siphoning problems

[6SENSE]

The old setups that used a vaccum hose at the top of the alky tank for pressurizing the system may actually be a smart idea for keeping the alky in the tank aswell. The same way that the boost pressurizes the tank, when not under boost wouldnt there be a vaccum created that would make the alky stay put? Whatcha think??

I was thinking the same thing (about the rad overflow container). I think with the sealed metal container that I was using (from the old BGC kit) it might actually work. However, I needed a larger tank, and something more inconspicious wasnt a bad thing either, so I switched to the rad overflow. Guess you gotta give up something to get something. Kind of sucks though. This siphoning thing seems like such a stupid reason to not be able to use your alky system.

Thanks.
