It's not the size but the application. When your coolant heats up it expands and will push coolant into your external tank. When the car cools off it will pull a vacuum on a recovery style tank and keep it topped off to prevent air pockets. The tank pictured is only a catch can. Mine is a quart but I wish it were larger.
