If you are spewing (dumping) coolant it could be that you are
overfilling the header bottle. The origional plastic one allowed you
to see the level and it has marks indicating low and high. When you
use the metal one you can no longer can see the level and it does not
have any markings indicating low and high. When the motor is cold (and
that is the only time you can safely remove the pressure cap and see
the level) the tank should be around 1/3 to 1/2 full. Fill with a
50/50 mixture of soft water and permanant type ethelyne glycol
anti-freeze (summer or winter). Never run on only water except to test
for leaks. Of course you will dump coolant if you overheat no matter
what you do with the level when cold. If the fans don't come on before
the temp gets too high then you could have a bad otterstadt switch and
maybe the circuit breaker should be changed. You can always turn on
the A/C, that should cause the fans to run.
