    I've used a poland spring bottle for 3 years. It's not as menacing, but it gets the job done.

    actually, when compared to poland springs bottles and gatorade bottles.... the baby bottle is a good deal. they are meant to be microwaved and take some heat. thats what i always used.

    If my crankcase breather vents into my airbox, and the gas tank vent tubes are routed to the belly pan, and i have a coolant overflow reservoir already.... do I even need to set up one of these things?

    The "one of these thing" that I was referring to IS a coolant overflow reservoir... Dumbass!
