Abstract
A drain pan forming an enclosure having a top and bottom wall and a front wall and terminates in a drain opening into the enclosure at the juncture of the front wall and top wall so that anti-freeze from an automotive radiator may be drained onto the front wall and through the drain opening into the interior of the enclosure. A sump pump is mounted in the interior of the enclosure for recycling the collected anti-freeze fluid through a flexible hose connected to the outlet of the pump back into the radiator.
