Our coolant recovery tank has sprung a leak which I've been unable to fix.
I see that Applied has replacements, but they're different than our oem tank.
Our old tank has a single tube on the bottom where the rubber hose to the radiator attaches.
The tank applied sells has a complicated top with what appears to be two tubes:

How is this supposed to be attached? Does it have a bottom tube too, or just the two top tubes in the cap?
The Parts Book lists two different coolant tank designs, but there are no drawings of either.
Is there a replacement for the single-tube oem tank (which I assume is the "first design" version)?
confused,

Karen, one tube, the larger one, goes to an internal hose that nearly
touches the bottom of the resevoir. The barb fitting goes to a hose in the
neck of the radiator. The small barb is a puker tube in case the resevoir
overfills. It goes to the ground. If you have the correct level in the
system, nothing comes out of it.
