Leave it to an engineer to come up with that idea!
No, I bought a plastic tank and a weld on hose fitting from USplastics.com
I used a heat gun to weld the fitting on, and drilled a hole in the cap for the overflow hose from the radiator. The fitting I welded on is for the run over if the tank is overfilled. Probably don't need that, just need a way for the extra to run out.
I guess anything would work for getting the air out. If you just run the overflow hose from the radiator cap into a bucket with coolant and let the engine idle any air should burp out then when the engine cools off it should draw coolant back into the radiator.
With my engine I was adding coolant after each trip, with the overflow tank I haven't added coolant since I added the tank.
