If you're worried about it leaking, use a RC boat/plane fuel tank with a brass "clunk" pick up. I've used these before and had no leakage problems. They have a breather tube/vent that you can take off an secure elsewhere.

You should only have an inch or so of expansion on the hottest of days, assuming your cooling system is in good shape.
