Dorman 54002 Engine Coolant Recovery Kit Universal Fit

I just installed this in my 60's classic car, where no overflow existed. This bolted right in and looks great. I've seen some reviewers mention the hose and clamps are not good enough. I believe they're wrong. First, this is a no pressure, overflow, meaning the hose and clamps wont see anymore pressure when the engine is running vs shut off. Secondly, the hose clamps fit VERY snug also anyway. I had to use some lubricate to help me slide them on without hurting or breaking anything. In this kind of low pressure application, these style hose clamps are more than acceptable. The hose looks fine also. Thick, clear plastic tubing. I don't expect any failures anytime soon.This looks good installed by the factory plastic washer fluid reservoir and kinda looks like it could have come from the factory with this too. It doesn't look out of place, even with a painted and highly detailed, full dressed in polished aluminum accessories 429ci sitting there. It's not an attractive piece, just functional. It doesn't distract either though, just like the washer fluid.Now I wont just loose coolant on the ground every time I shut the engine down, and risk the system getting low. So silly how they used to have no overflow catch cans back in the day. A must add on for any classic car without one. Great value for the money.As a side note, I like dormans small version also. Installed one on my wood chipper many years ago. It's been working great since also. I don't like everything made by this brand, but the majority of things I found acceptable. When it comes to their overflow tanks though, there's no need to spend anymore on something else. These will do the job and last for many issue free years. I expect at least a decade out of this, and will probably get two or even more.

Takes up very little space, functions as it should. Made of good grade plastic, not flimsy at all even when hot.

simple to install. Everything needed is included. Installed in a class A motorhome in about 5 minutes. Replaced a cracked factory unit.

I recently replaced the engine coolant tank in my RV with this product, and it couldn’t have been a better choice! It arrived quickly and fit perfectly in my 1985 Chevrolet Chieftain Bus. The quality seems solid, and it was easy to install. If you're looking for a reliable coolant tank replacement, I highly recommend this one!

Good value for the money, but the overflow tube ID was too large for the overflow tank and radiator fittings...clamping the ends didn't help much as there was too much material for the clamps to seat the tube properly.

Worked great for what I needed it. I didnt use the clear hose and I added another bolt/support to the lowe frame. Can't beat it for the price. Was $2 cheaper here shipped than it was driving to the auto parts store 30 miles from my house. Cheaper and easier than making my own overflow tank

Great replacement and great price!!

Worked out very well so far. Fit where the old one use to be. Didn't use the frame that was supplied. The connections were different from my old one - perhaps this is the newer style.
