Sir fix a lot,

I thought tha may be the case, just have to find a hill steep enough to allow the radiator core to achieve verticality?  Is this what you mean?

Saw this link on another forum. It's an interesting read on radiators some may find useful?

I agree!

It's more of a radiator design article, it's been a while since I've studied heat transfer, etc at uni and even I found it challenging (read snooze-worthy).  It's good to see that someone has taken the time to apply the science to a car application, it definitely would've made my study more interesting visualising cars instead of boilers.

Edit: I guess it depends on the boiler in question.

lol.
