Custom degas bottle

Josh@DirtyDiesels · Mar 18, 2013

Anyone ever do anything different with than the factory degas bottle? Would love to do an aluminum one or something like they use in cars. Just an idea that came across my mind thinking about how I can make my engine bay look a little better

check out innovatives compound kit. they have an aluminum bottle to replace the factory degas bottle.

i asked a long time ago if they would sell separate and i was told no, that i could only get it if i bought the compound kit. unless they have changed their minds now.

Talked to my buddy at Mishimoto today. Gonna see what they can do

at least you 6.4 guys have the option of the dirty diesel customs tank like the one Matt has on his truck

Yeah gonna run it by him next time I see him. But in the meantime I'd love to see what I can get mishimoto to do. Going to mention to them that there is definitely a market for these things...

I'm definitely interested in something in aluminum. Not for the stock location either. It would be nice to move it somewhere else, not exactly sure where yet but I know I don't want it where it is now.

probably getting paid at work to post this from my bionic

even near the stock location would be fine. Just anything to get rid of the butt ugly factory one.

I'm sure someone can one of these to work http://www.summitracing.com/search?keyword=aluminum coolant tanks&dds=1

Really like the mishimoto one but I wonder about cap pressure and stuff like that... how will it affect the cooling system?

TooMuch03 · Mar 19, 2013

There are a butt-ton of aluminum tanks for mustangs out there. They all use the exact same 16 lb cap that our trucks required. It would be pretty easy to replace the factory degas bottle with one for the mustang. You can mount it anywhere you want as long as the cap is the highest point in the system. That is my plan.

Mdub707 · Mar 19, 2013

Exactly, I see no reason why we can't just use something already available. I would LOVE to have something else, my bottle is always in the way. I swap a butt load of FICM's back and forth on my truck so if the factory one wasn't there.... oh man that would be nice.

How many 6.0 guys are going to freak out when they realize they can't readily see their coolant level? LOL

I dont see how it could be any different as long as you stick with the same psi cap as the stock is what like 16lb i think. And like said keep it the highest point in the system.
