It will suck the antifreeze back. About 6 months ago, I had a overheating
problem one hot day when flying. It
pushed all the fluid it could into the overflow box. Luckily I was landing
in 3 minutes.. after I shutdown the engine I pulled the top off.. and
watched the overflow box begin to drain back into the engine. I was
surprised that this would
happen.

Graham,
Are you sure the water gets sucked back in when it cools? I can see how the
water gets pushed up into the expansion tank when it expands but the
pressure cap will be closed when the water cools thus stopping the water
---From returning from the expansion tank.
