on the Buck. This may not improve the function much, but would allow the radiator to be completely full all the time with no air, avoid spilling antifreeze on the ground, and require less "topping off". Maybe it would improve the cooling function a little. I brainstormed an idea for the tank:
Tablecraft Square Glass Tall 16 Oz Olive Oil Dispenser Bottle Commercial Quality 727875059949 | eBay
(they're available local for well under $10)
it will fit between the radiator and mesh grill, and would be easy enough to mount, and could just replace the bottle cap's pourer w/ vent tube with a straight tube running to the bottom of the bottle. Just connect the existing overflow tube to that.
The radiator cap would have to have a vacuum valve that would open to allow coolant to flow back into the radiator when the unit cooled down. My existing old cap doesn't appear to have this. I wonder how hard it would be to get a 10 lb cap that also has that valve, and fits the Buck?
Would this work, and be a worthwhile little project?
