I did a couple of seaches and couldn't find out what to do with this. I have recently purchased a Alumitech recirculation tank and am not sure how to mount it. One end has a fitting to attach a hose to and the other has a petcock that (I'm assuming) is to drain whatever is in the can if you would like. Does the petcock end face up or down?

Sorry for the simple question (I'm assuming the petcock faces down), but I've seen a couple set ups that have a hose going into the bottom of the can and also some that go into the top of the can...what's the difference?

Thanks for your help!

the over flow tube from the rad goes to the 90 degree hose barb .. that would be concidered top .. the bras drain cock goes to bottom .

Okay, that's how I have it installed now...I have just seen a couple other set-ups with the overflow tube from the radiator going into the bottom of the can and I was second-guessing myself. Anybody know why someone would install it that way?

Thanks for your help Don...you've been great to work with, as usual. (I didn't call you first because it was the weekend and I "needed" to know ; ), and didn't want to bother you)
