Just got the radiator back from shop and I was checking the job and noticed that the 2 lowest outlets seam to be isolated from the tank:eek:
I didn't check it before I sent it away as it had coolant in it still.
If I blow or suck the 2 small outlets apear to be a loop(ie. like an auto cooler, in tank but isolated from it).
1 hose leeds to the oil cooler on motor,
1 hose leeds to fuel cooler with a "t" to the coolant bottle.
Both of these outlets are below the main outlet to the thermostat.

18444

Can anybody tell me if this is normal please.
Or should I take it back incase the tanks not fitted right(Maybe bloked some how)
I'll call into him tomorow and ask if he's open.

TIA and Cheers.

yes its correct. The bottom 4 rows of the rad are dedicated to the fuel cooler. The upper of the connections recieves the coolant from the oil cooler, which then comes out of the lower one, and then goes to the fuel cooler
