One solution i thought of was to make up a spring loaded valve that is fitted to the radiator feed hose and is closed when the engine is off but opens when the engine starts.
It would also prevent your engine from cooling after you shut it off. You could end up boiling the coolant in the engine even though the coolant in the radiator is in range.
