Wierd Overflow Tanks

After seeing the fire extinguisher overflow tank thread it got me wondering what other things you guys use.

Post a picture of what you're using!

 

no pic, but mines a heineken "mini keg" on the 350 in my apache.

 

I used an old Fram oil filter canister---

 

I have a Asahi beer can.

 

saw this at the pumpkin run...

and I don't have a pic of our's but it's a can from a spray gun!

 

not really wierd but more like frugle! ok crappy and lazy come to mind , i didnt even drink the beer as i found the can layin around in the shop..
recycled maybe?

 

ive got an old cocktail shaker that i found at a flea market that im gonna put on my next project.

 

I was going to do that with an old cocktail shaker, too. But then I started making cocktails in it, so there will have to be a change of plans.

 

Mine is a piece of 2" copper tubing with 2" freeze plugs soldered onto the ends:

 

I have mine to where it can hold any fine wine: Wild Irish Rose, or Boones farm.

 

On my Deuce roadster I used a 1945 WW II aluminum canteen with tubes welded in the bottom .

 

i used a modified grease gun tube

 

A one Lb. gun powder can.


Flatman

 

WW1 Canteen.
HemiDeuce.

 

Self explanatory.

 

very cool ideas here. keem then coming!

i still have found what i'm going to use for mine yet.

 

There's a whole other thread about these that Ryan started, may have some other pics and info that you'd find helpful. Search either "overflow" "coolant" or "puke" tanks....

 

Jack Daniels bottle in my 55 Ford Fairlane. Came out of my buddies 71 Camaro muscle car. Go figure!

 

12 oz PBR can in the 55

 

Budwiser alum. 12oz.

 

I don't know if beer cans/bottles are weird, cuz I see them on several cars at the shows nowadays. but you gotta love the vintage colt 45 can. Billy Dee Williams would be proud.

 

An antique embalming fluid bottle

 

..thats what that is?..Ive seen only one of those before in my life..and i didnt pick it up..Dam!
I love the old glass bottles..got an old moonshiners bottle with the hook or loop handle..think i might use it..but it is a bit large..that looks sweet man

Ive also got a larger square bottle that has a spigot in the bottom..

 

Found that thing on egay a while back.
It is hard to see on the photo, but it says "embalming" across the top on the side facing towards the wheel, and on the other side, it has some name. Think it is a company name. i forget exactly what it says.

 

very cool idea..i never looked close enough at the bottle that looked very simular to yours..I bet it was the same makers bottle..just looks too much the same

 

Thats a cool bottle, that embalming fluid one!

 

We beat this horse up pretty good here:
