This popular universal kit is made in the USA and comes with all the necessary pieces for an easy installation, including a durable accumulator bottle, cap, hang basket with mount holes, overflow tube, tube clamps, washers and mounting clips. Thousands of satisfied customers have found this useful for adding or modifying recovery systems on cars and trucks, boats, motor homes, and potentially anything else that overflows liquid coolant that needs to be returned to the cooling system. Review: I just installed this in my 60's classic car, where no overflow existed. This bolted right in and looks great. I've seen some reviewers mention the hose and clamps are not good enough. I believe they're wrong. First, this is a no pressure, overflow, meaning the hose and clamps wont see anymore pressure when the engine is running vs shut off. Secondly, the hose clamps fit VERY snug also anyway. I had to use some lubricate to help me slide them on without hurting or breaking anything. In this kind of low pressure application, these style hose clamps are more than acceptable. The hose looks fine also. Thick, clear plastic tubing. I don't expect any failures anytime soon. This looks good installed by the factory plastic washer fluid reservoir and kinda looks like it could have come from the factory with this too. It doesn't look out of place, even with a painted and highly detailed, full dressed in polished aluminum accessories 429ci sitting there. It's not an attractive piece, just functional. It doesn't distract either though, just like the washer fluid. Now I wont just loose coolant on the ground every time I shut the engine down, and risk the system getting low. So silly how they used to have no overflow catch cans back in the day. A must add on for any classic car without one. Great value for the money. As a side note, I like dormans small version also. Installed one on my wood chipper many years ago. It's been working great since also. I don't like everything made by this brand, but the majority of things I found acceptable. When it comes to their overflow tanks though, there's no need to spend anymore on something else. These will do the job and last for many issue free years. I expect at least a decade out of this, and will probably get two or even more. Review: I recently purchased the 54002 to replace a old and damaged unit on my classic ford. The new one is identical to the old one. Outstanding value.

The new one is identical to the old one. Outstanding value. Thank you! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***K on 14 November 2024* Really nice thing about it is that the top two bolt mount points can be easily bent back and forth so it can match stock bolt holes. Bolted straight up into the old hino, worked great. 10/10 ## Frequently Bought Together - Dorman 54002 Engine Coolant Recovery Kit Universal Fit - Dorman 603-001 Coolant Reservoir Bottle, White Universal Fit - KEMIMOTO Universal Car Windshield Washer Pump Washer Fluid Reservoir Bottle Kit with Pump Jet Button Switch 12V Windshield Tank --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/77740001-dorman-54002-engine-coolant-recovery-kit-universal-fit](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/77740001-dorman-54002-engine-coolant-recovery-kit-universal-fit) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
