I bet you could wrap it with heat reflective tape to help keep it from soaking up the engine bay temps.

May be overkill though. Anyways, good looking job on the tank.

in the tank or the lines in general? cuz pressure in tank can always be relieved, adjusted, or a fitting can be added so no pressure builds up in tank

ya the tank has a pressure valve so it does get air locked, so would the lines build to much pressure

ya i figured dry ice would be better because it doesn't dilute your antifreeze

well coolant doesn't cool as well as water does so more water is better

i think dry ice would last longer but blades got a point

Idk, something to try for me when i get the tank but regular ice is a proven thing
