Jody - do you run a #8 line to the feed side(low pressure) of the power steering pump. Does most of the type2 and 3 PS pumps pull fluid from a distance with out problems. I mean can you mount these resivoirs on the radiator core support and run a couple feet of hose?

On my stock corvette accessory system the stock resivoir is just bove the pump and the feed hose is pretty big in diameter, this made me curious about how well the pump pulls from the resivoir. I would really like to get rid of the little plastic tank, would I be able to use these as well, I too will be running hyrdoboost? Your thoughts, BTW they look real nice- Thanks Rich

I run #10 (this is what this reservoir is set up with also), no issues at all with the distance from the reservoir to the pump. Try to keep the reservoir higher than the pump (mine is just above pump inlet level) and works great.

I'm going to need a set of those myself...

How is venting taken care of-- is there a small baffled hole in the caps somewhere?

The PS cap is baffled with a rubber seal on the cap preventing fluid splash out the top.

Tank will be available for non-hydroboost setup as well. The hydroboost tanks just were priority first.
