Default Faster proms expansion tank noob question

so I have one of these installed and forgive my inexperience with this lol but can I add ice inside this thing? If so, what are the procedures.. would I have to drain some of the fluid out? Also, like a radiator do I have watch for air bubbles in the system? Thanks

Just drain tank. Catch fluid if you don't want it on your tires. Add ice. Top off with fluid of your choice. Any air will come out in the tank and not hurt anything.

Thsnks for your help! Just curious but I'll be driving the car to the track so when I get there and open this thing will it blow up in my face? Lol like a hot radiator?

Open the drain first the you will be able to open the large screw off cap....the large screw off top is hard to get off under vacuum since the seal is so good.
