cooling system mod

[orrisd4]

Im still working on getting all the hoses on my a2 repaired .This seems like a good time to ask this ,
can a coolant filter be used with a fuel fired coolant heater ? Also has anyone managed to hookup a recovery bottle to an a2 if so please point me to it .(yes i have looked , nothing is coming up)

Recovery bottle?

If you put a T in line of the heater hoses you should be fine. Check out my thread on M923 to see how i did mine. I have separate shut-off valves for the filter and the heater.

Recovery bottle?

I think he means a coolant overflow tank.

yes , we have always called em recovery bottles, same thing just a different name , also eagle i was planning to do away with the water heater altogether and run an arctic fuel burner ,

Then just use the existing lines to the coolant bypass filter and call it a day. Good prices for the setup on AMAZON.com.

I have a recovery bottle on mine. Just use a one gallon universal from an auto parts store and plumb it straight to the overflow line from the radiator.

Not a problem. If you can find a bigger bottle you should use it, but mine is working for me.
