Thanks for the tip. If it starts leaking again, I'll check it out. Perhaps one of the hose clamps is loose. Whatever it was, it seemed to have something to do with the radiator cap. After this problem had been going on for a while, I went to unscrew the cap and it fell apart. I got a replacement cap and the problem mostly went away. It currently is using the amount of coolant it takes to go from the MIN mark to the MAX mark every 2,500 - 3,000 miles.

I have not determined the source of the leak but after replacing the cap on the overflow tank, the coolant consumption went down at least 10X. As far as the inverter coolant goes, mine has always seeped a bit around the push on reservoir cap. It does not leak very much. I top it off less than once a year.

My 2013 FFH has developed a small leak near the exhaust port on the driver's side of the engine. It started out being very small, only perceptible when a drop would fall on the exhaust and produce a puff of steam that might be seen if stopped. Now I'd say it is probably using a quart every 500 miles. This is not a location I would expect to see coolant unless there was a serious problem (photos attached). Anyone with any experience or knowledge on the subject?

I have been pleased with the performance of the ACC except for one thing. It appears to be overly sensitive to bicycle riders, even if they are far off on the shoulder. When I come up on a bicycle, I often have to hit the gas pedal to keep the car from slowing down. Perhaps the guy who designed the system was an avid cyclist, and wanted to make a statement!

I'd be curious to know if anyone has had experience with HF operation in the FFH. Specifically, I'd be interested in any RFI related issues and their impact on HF operation. I've operated VHF FM from my FFH but interference is much less of an issue than for HF.

I've used an HT on 2 meters and did not notice any problems. I'd be interested in any feedback if anyone has tried HF operation in the FFH. I'm contemplating moving my HF mobile rig to the FFH if it is quiet enough. I'll need to try receiving some HF from a receiver in the car and see if it is tolerable or not.
