How the Desert Cooler Works for a WW2 Willys MB or Ford GPW Jeep

that's actually pretty clever, I like the idea. naturally it's for hot weather. have you had your radiator push coolant out yet?

How much is this dessert cooler in america?

Hi WW2 Jeep and Rifle! Wow! This is a very useful video! There was a question, why this tank, now I will know what and how to do! Thank you very much for this video!

Great info, thanks

I've seen pics of a fire extinguisher, placed in those brackets.

Yes thanks its very in formativ video about the cooling can of ford I have ever seen

I have an expansion tank installed higher up on the grill, used extra bit of hose. I kept radiator cap on the radiator, opposite to what you say, still works ok.

Oh macam ini cooler dia ....em baru saya paham dahat ketahanan jeep reffle ini nasib baik tak ada di malaysia ini kalau tak saya pon nak tau apa kehebatan dan lasaknya ketenteraan unitet states punya reka cipta jepp tempur untuk kesatriaan negara awak

good vidéo !!!

hi i am driving a Mahindra MM540 DP Peugeot 2112 engine (a much heated engine) back in India and wish to add this. Could you please let me know is it possible and I appreciate if you could share the detailed diagram of the installation

Very informative, thanks.

Wow. Very cool. Thank you

So the cap on the radiator is 4lbs

That's neat. You'd naturally think it'd be an extra cooler or something, but this makes complete sense. An overflow tank has been a given since I started wrenching on my own.

Where do u get one?

Good Upload 👌

Thank you. This answers several questions I had.

It was invented by Brig. Bagnold in the 1930ies and later used on the LRDG vehicles!

Painfull narration,this would have been a useless educational film when all this tech was current,WW2 would have been over before the info was delivered. Sorry but despite the good video film quality it is awfull, remake it please!

Important to just keep the water level roughly halfway up the desert cooler canister, don't fill more than this as you need to leave space for it to work. Also, when checking the water level this is done by just checking the canister. Interestingly, here in the UK, Land Rovers (at least military ones) have an identical system except that the canister is fitted in the engine bay.

The original version designed by LRDG (Long Range Desert Group) Officer Ralph Bagnold and was called a condenser.

👍👍👍

I add a can to my f134 cj5 but i keeped the original cap on the radiator and let it over
fill to the can just like in modern vehicles.

Hey brother just wanted to let you know those caps should be switched if your using the tank as an overflow. The pressure cap should be on the radiator and the zero cap on the tank. Just as any standard car would have.
