Re: Before I put this on
The electric valve will allow the tank to fill regardless if the power is on or off. So if you prime the engine with a drill, it will also fill the tank. Wire the valve through the ignition switch, when you turn the ignition on, the valve opens and helps prime the engine.When you shut it off, it will close the tank. Simple

Re: Before I put this on
Thanks all for your help, great as usual,
many ways to hook up as long as it gets the job done. One other question, the tank has a snap ring on each end to hold the end caps. If I wanted only a quart in the tank, can there be a "stick" installed to allow the piston to move just that amount? Mike |

Re: Before I put this on
I guess you could block the back like a shotgun magazine if you really wanted.
As far as an oil change goes read the instructions, you can go online and find them. You have to open the valve and force the piston down with air pressure and then reset the air in the sump when done. The purpose of the accusump is to level out oil pressure, works great on circle track cars where they are on and off of the throttle and going around turns. I really don't see it pushing oil all through the motor on startup, don't see how it does much aside from making the pressure gauge go up. If you've ever primed an engine with a drill you understand how much it takes to get oil to the lifters, forget about through the mains and rods. |

Follow the instructions for the precharge. I used less than 10 psi, just enough to get the piston to the bottom of the bore. Oil pushed into the bottom under pressure will compress the air on top to a pressure equal to the oil pressure. 60psi on top would require at least 60psi oil pressure to put any oil in the can severely limiting the amount available to protect the engine. |

Watch the video and listen to the words pressure and volume. When he opens the valve and the oil leaves the tube decide where it goes as it goes into the oil filter. |

Re: Before I put this on
as someone mentioned earlier you can also control the amount of oil in the pan. instead of dropping 2 qts for heads up, change accumulator pressure

Re: Before I put this on
After reading all these post it got me thinking, would it be better to dump the tank oil back into the pan (with a one way check valve) so the pump could continue pumping from a steady supply? Or is it ok to dump into the pressure column since some volumn would be forced back at the pump even though its sucking air (more bubbles) at the time?

Re: Before I put this on
Yes, reason I said some type of one way check valve. But just a thought.
For the can, I plan on using the port where the filter screws on. |
