[SEL] Thermo-syphon Question

[Andrew]

I've never paid that much attention to those, I thought they had a water
pump but still i'm having a hard time seeing how that worked with the
water line below the port. I'm thinking I might do a little experiment
with this, but I seen a tractor with I thermo-siphon setup over heat from
the water line falling below the top port on the radiator. The water that
was in the engine stayed level with the radiator, but the water in the
engine boiled off instead of flowing up and out the top port on the
radiator.
