Re: [Chrysler300] Radiator problems

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Hi "Cuz" and All:
I just let the 300F work as when it was new, even though it does have a  
tendancy to run a little hot yet.  No water added after the trip to Buffalo  from 
Tallahassee this spring, and none after the trip to Springfield and  back.
I certainly agree that the use of overflow tanks in the later cars was a  
good idea, though.  I'm just not forced into post fitting it yet.
By the way, I use the propylene glycol antifreeze which is  supposed to be 
safer for animals.
300ly, Gil

I had a  radiator overflow problem right after I purchased my 1955 C-300.
The  radiator tank was down an inch or so, so I filled it up cold.  When  I
next stopped, the engine heat caused the excess fluid to go out through  the
overflow as there is no overflow/recovery bottle.  If you had  topped off the
radiator when cold and have no overflow tank, you could have  experienced the
same problem.

Des anyone have a combination of trick  radiator cap, plumbing and overflow
tank that works on the older  300's?

We should all remember to try and mop up antifreeze spills as it  is
apparently tasty, but toxic to pets and other  mammals.
