An overflow container prevents coolant loss. As coolant heats it expands. Without the tank, excess coolant would be forced from the radiator and be dumped on the ground. As coolant cools it is drawn back into the radiator so it always stays full.

You did not need to know the amount of water originally in the overflow container because it could be easily calculated with the existing information.
if your water/antifreeze gets to hot it pushes out the over flow tube into the overflow container, as it cools down it will suck it out of the overflow and back into the radiator.
coolant overflow/reservoir tank
I guess thru the overflow container.
To find the volume of an object using a measuring cylinder and an overflow jar, first fill the overflow jar to the brim with water and place it in a container to catch any overflow. Submerge the object in the overflow jar, allowing the displaced water to spill into the container. Measure the collected overflow water using the measuring cylinder; this volume corresponds to the volume of the submerged object. The volume of the water displaced is equal to the volume of the object.
You can check the anti-freeze level, in a Arctic Cat 400 ATV, by looking at the amount of fluid in the overflow container. The overflow container should be approximately half full.
fill thru the overflow container
The density of the rock can be directly determined when the rock is placed in an overflow container. By measuring the amount of water displaced by the rock, its volume can be calculated, and then by dividing the mass of the rock by its volume, the density can be determined.
Fill a container with water. Carefull put the object into the container and collect the overflow of water. Measure the water displaced See "Eureka"
no it doesnt........the overflow container is just there to catch the extra coolant.......it has nothing to do with the heating system
To find the volume of an object, we use an overflow cylinder as it gives a measure of the volume of the object by displacing an equal amount of water into the beaker.
