Custom degas bottle

Maybe I'll make one , I'll be having a 6.0 in for some custom build stuff very soon. Shouldn't be a big deal at all. Price shouldn't be too bad if you don't mind paying for American made stuff.

I will always pay more for something American made if I can, it's hard to do now days though.

Not to derail, but it's not as hard as people make it out to be. Try reading the labels on everything once in a while. I've found many American made things even at the grocery store, and for the same price or even cheaper in some cases... just saying. I hear people say this all the time, but I always wonder how much they actually try. Sorry, back on topic!

I agree, I would definitely pay for an American made product. This is actually something that would benefit me greatly.

I agree with what what was said earlier about the only down fall would be not being able to see how much is actually in the aluminum tank. if only someone could put a sight glass or window of some sort on the side of the tank would be cool.

This.

Matt P is running a similar tank on his cummins swap.

LOL this is likely only an issue a 6.0 owner would even think about, sadly.

You can use some 90* fittings and some clear hose to keep an eye on coolant level.

Mdub707 · Mar 20, 2013

Yeah that would be a very simple and effective way to do it.

Very true matt I forgot about that

thats what i was ginng to suggest. plenty already made just like that with the clear tube on the side. just look at stuff for a foxbody, there are more options for them than someone has time to look at.

somebody mentioned that mustangs also use the 16psi cap so what about this aluminum tank for $99

That would fit just about anywhere, but i don't know if the older Mustangs used a comparable coolant system. I was speaking of late model mustangs. Summit had several options for under $150.
