Subject:Re: Expansion Tank/Overflow Tank?

I'm looking at page 19.13 in Bentley.  The "first
pressurized tank" on the left side, is called the "Coolant
expansion tank" and the "second overflow tank" on the right
side (that you can see behind the license plate)  is called
the "Refill tank".  I personal do not like the terms as to
me the "first tank" on the left is a "Reservoir tank" , and
then when the coolant expands it goes into the second "right
tank" or 'expansion tank.  I tried to be specific in my
post.  Malcolm

====================================================

What is the list's consensus on the names for the plastic
coolant tanks?
The pressurized one is "Expansion" and the fill tank is
"Overflow"?  I am
not sure when people write in what they are tanking about.
What does the
Bentley and/or VW call them?
