Radiator overflow bottles

Unread post by lostwrench » Sun Apr 17, 2011 1:38 pm

The radiator overflow bottles on our 04 and 09 Impalas have a small chamber attached to the large chamber. The overflow hose attaches to the small chamber.
What is the engineering principle in having these small chambers and not having the overflow hose simply attach to the large chamber?

here is a diagram. Can you find your hoses on the lower half? (scroll down until you see the bypass hose and outlet pipe section)
