Maybe i should make one of these instead of the ugly plastic bottle in the car 
Thanks for explaining all this. I just realised i didnt know the difference, but its really quite obvious.

quick question, since there appears to be people knowledgeable on cooling systems.
i have an s4 tii, well the waterpump housing and fill neck anyway, and an s4 koyo radiator, both of which have caps and bleed/vent nipples. the way i had it connected was both of them teed together and then went into the overflow tank.
is that ok or proper, or is there a better way of doing it?
i was thinking of running a higher pressure cap on the radiator (lower) so that it forces the fill neck (upper) to open first.
but im no expert, hence im here asking for advice.
thanks!

That's totally wrong. If you were running an expansion tank you could do that but for a recovery tank you need it to be feed only AFTER the pressure cap.

Here's a cheaper option. It even has threaded mounting holes built into the can.
