I see that you finally repaired your crystal ball!!!It's aluminum with a red cap. Now you know all about it.
If the tube on the side goes down to the bottom on the inside and it has a vent on the lid it is a recovery bottle.Just a catch can. Any number of company’s make em. But it is not a “recovery” can which is what you want on a street car
Could very well be the case. We’d need to see inside of it.If the tube on the side goes down to the bottom on the inside and it has a vent on the lid it is a recovery bottle.
The 90 degree fitting on the outside needs a matching drop tube on the inside going to the bottom. If it has that, then it'll recircMr. Gasket aluminum puke can. Listed as "recirculating" so that seems to mean it's a recovery tank.

Here it is with the lid off. I'm not sure how it can "recover" coolant back into the radiator. I THOUGHT a recovery tank had to have a tube on the lid going to the bottom of the can, but what the heck do I know?

Mine does also. I made it out of a stainless steel water bottle.Mine the overflow goes in the bottom. Works well.
.......the other is very tall and acts as a vent and overflow drain.
And that is the other problem with this design. That cap is air-tight and even has an O-ring? Without some kind of vent hole, this unit will only allow a small amount of coolant in, before the pressure with the radiator becomes equal...at least I would think.
Look at the photo again. The cap has a hole dead center in the top.And that is the other problem with this design. That cap is air-tight and even has an O-ring?
