[DML] Re: Coolant overflow

["Richard Cutter" <dmc_power@xxxx>]

The DeLorean has what is known as a surge tank and is pressured along with 
the radiator and coolong system... No overflow tank is on the system to 
catch the bleed from the pressure cap... If you keep the surge tank about 
2/3 rd full, bleed over is normally not a problem, at least not with 
mine....
