Dorman 54002 Engine Coolant Recovery Kit Universal Fit

I just installed this in my 60's classic car, where no overflow existed. This bolted right in and looks great. I've seen some reviewers mention the hose and clamps are not good enough. I believe they're wrong. First, this is a no pressure, overflow, meaning the hose and clamps wont see anymore pressure when the engine is running vs shut off. Secondly, the hose clamps fit VERY snug also anyway. I had to use some lubricate to help me slide them on without hurting or breaking anything. In this kind of low pressure application, these style hose clamps are more than acceptable. The hose looks fine also. Thick, clear plastic tubing. I don't expect any failures anytime soon. This looks good installed by the factory plastic washer fluid reservoir and kinda looks like it could have come from the factory with this too. It doesn't look out of place, even with a painted and highly detailed, full dressed in polished aluminum accessories 429ci sitting there. It's not an attractive piece, just functional. It doesn't distract either though, just like the washer fluid. Now I wont just loose coolant on the ground every time I shut the engine down, and risk the system getting low. So silly how they used to have no overflow catch cans back in the day. A must add on for any classic car without one. Great value for the money. As a side note, I like dormans small version also. Installed one on my wood chipper many years ago. It's been working great since also. I don't like everything made by this brand, but the majority of things I found acceptable. When it comes to their overflow tanks though, there's no need to spend anymore on something else. These will do the job and last for many issue free years. I expect at least a decade out of this, and will probably get two or even more.

Worked great for my 1991 Nissan 300ZX! I used some rivet nuts to secure it to the frame rail. Materials are high quality.

Very easy to install 5 minutes to install.

Fits perfectly in place and for a great price

This fit snugly between the battery and fender of my '68 Chevy C10 Pickup. I just had to bend one mount about 60 degrees and it bolted right up to the battery box. However, the input connection has a molded in seem that leaked despite tightening on the clamp. Finally used some RTV and for now that appears to be holding.

Perfect size. Great value for the money. Good quality and durability.

Takes up very little space, functions as it should. Made of good grade plastic, not flimsy at all even when hot.

Installed in the 1984 motorhome with a 454. Old tank had a crack and this was a simple enough replacement and seems to be getting the job done.

I recently purchased the 54002 to replace a old and damaged unit on my classic ford. The new one is identical to the old one. Outstanding value. Thank you!

Really nice thing about it is that the top two bolt mount points can be easily bent back and forth so it can match stock bolt holes. Bolted straight up into the old hino, worked great. 10/10

Worked great as a windshield washer tank replacement on my gx470

Used it for an overflo on my 1952 international, worked great

Good purchase that worked good to remove the air in the car coolant system but had i seen the special funnel with adapters i would have went with that i think. But this one served its purpose
