modding a receiver into a expansion tank

[ruffus]

hey guy here is a pic of the receiver i want to make into a expansion tank and i was wondering what would be the best way to do this to this receiver. or should i try and find a different one

[EvoCarlos]

hey ruffus
just block off the in port on the reciver and use the out port for connection to system that way if any oil gets in it can be pull'd out (to a degree) but dont use 2m of 0.8mm cap tube thats to long as i found out lol
about 1.5m shoud work ok ive been told :)

[ruffus]

so would the 0.8mm captube is the 0.31 as we don't use mm here we use inches and if so i should use 1.5m or about 4.5 foot if this is not right please let me know. and i was woundering since these reciver has a rotolck on it should i cut it off and try to just braze in something or should i just try and get it to work with the rotolock on there as it is one that does not come off

hey
yeah 0.8mm = 0.031" :)

i would leave the roto lock in place and just close it and put in a service port on the unused one may come in usefull some day
then pipe the other one in to the system :) with the roto lock fully open
1.5m sounds good to me :)
carl..

so what u are saying is leave the rotolock there and just use the the 1/4 flare out as the in and the i could still use the access valve as a access valve if i need to

When i was modding a reciever into a expansion tank, Blaster suggested me to use ~ 0.5-0.8m TC-31 (0.8mm) cap tube.
