The b91 doesnbt have a vented overflow tank, it has a pressurized coolant reservoir. Nor does it have a radiator cap. Different setup.
Jamie, if you look at the front of your tank you should see a similar double-headed arrow molded into the plastic (the markings on the top are just the guide). Open cold and fill to the top of the arrow: it should be a bit above the middle seam in the tank. Hope this helps.
