Header tank level

My header tank purges to a level just above the "plate" inside, approx 1" below full. Is this ok? I know some people fit a recovery system but I don't think a 4lb recovery cap is available.

Pete, fill it to the top, get it hot and let it find the correct level by burping out what it doesnt want. If it doesnt overheat, all is well. (Do 5his in the privacy of your own drive as you will get loads of people telling you you have a leak!).

Yes it has embarrassed me a couple of times by piddling in public
