What causes antifreeze to come out the overflow?
when your engine is hot it causes the water to boil and the water and the anti freeze will come out of the overflow pipe.
Why does antifreeze backup into the overflow tank?
Heat from the engine causes liquid to expand. It used to overflow onto the ground if it caused enough pressure to open the radiator cap. The overflow tanks were installed to automatically catch and return the coolant to the cooling system.
What can happen if diesel fuel is used instead of antifreeze in a diesel engine radiator cooling system?
diesel has a lower boiling point than antifreeze. as the engine heats up the diesel will vapourize and cause high pressure in your system. you will also has much worse temperature control in your engine.
Why does diesel fuel and antifreeze mix?
It does not mix under normal conditions. If this is happening with your diesel engine you may have engine trouble.

That depends on the radiator, not the engine.
Why do you hear a gurgling noise from my car when I'm stopping?
The gurgling sound is caused by pressure in the engine coolant system(antifreeze) slowly releasing into the coolant overflow resevoir. Typically a faulty thermostat causes this sound.
Why does antifreeze surge in the overflow tank of a 99 Chevy Suburban?
Engine overheating will cause the anti-freeze to surge into the overflow tank. A blown head gasket will also cause the anti-freeze to surge into the overflow tank.
How do you get over flowed antifreeze out of radiator?
You really do not need to. Put the cap on and run the engine, the excess will flow into the overflow canister.
