How full should the Moyer heat exchanger reservoir tank stay `normally?
My new heat exchanger has been refilled several times and is currently
nearly 2/3 empty. I believe the loss is going to the plastic overflow bottle.
I resealed the fitting on it with 5200 a couple weeks ago. Maybe it did not
seal correctly
I am thinking that the overflow plastic bottle is setting up a siphon and
I am thinking of temporarily removing the hose and simply letting overflow
go directly into the bilge. I have seen stains from the area of the overflow
so I know some antifreeze was going there and leaking out.
I am limited as to where I can place the plastic bottle. Currently it is
a about 3 ft outboard of the heat exchanger and at the appox. same
height. It can't be placed closer to center line as it would wet switch
panels. I wonder when boat heels if I siphon is being set up
There are no other leaks that I can find .
Comments and suggestions appreciated.
