Could I use an accusump as a simple reserve tank, plumbed 'in line' with my oil filter , without using the valve for cold starts etc??? IOW just leave the valve open at all times as an additional reservoir? The only issue is you will have all that extra oil in the pan may find areas to leak from.If your going to install the unit take advantage of the benifit of priming an engine that sits for a period of time.

IOW just leave the valve open at all times as an additional reservoir? We've lowered the car so had to modify the sump for ground clearance, which equals less capacity. The accusump is giving us back the lost capacity plus the added bonus of all the other advantages mentioned.

Tig OP master Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 2,924 A shed in England	just a quick update. Checked it all out, works great. Primed with the drill and got 60 psi on the dash gauge and accusump gauge. 60 psi is normal for new oil. Closed the valve and waited 1/2 hour opened the valve and got 50 psi on the gauge in the car. Cool. This is without the one-way, diode, check valve thing btw '74 Challenger..9.46 @ 145.9 1/4, 6.001 @ 118 1/8 so far. 4023lb !!! # N/A, Marsh performance 655ci, Indy Maxx, T/R, Indy 600-13 X's, Street legal, pump gas, full interior, Cal-Tracs, mufflers, 3:73's and real 10.5 radials. 9.51 @ 142.4 1/4, 6.003 @ 114 1/8 with our old mule KB, 572-13, 580 wedge.

Yes and Yes, my thinking on one way was I saw little reason to divert pressure/flow back thru oil filter and/or back flush all the crap every time accumulator operated. One way valve is larger grey cyl to right of tee connection. See pic #57, and I'm not NHRA, so inside car is not an issue. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...part=1&vc=1 Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

You want a large port going into the block.. normally if you use a remote filter you plumb it in on the outlet side so it has plenty of volume

I would like to plumb it into the larger of the two ports. What do you think? Many people have done that, including E-berg on his Bold Beeper (at one time anyway). But I guess if you are running a remote filter anyway it is an easier way to do it as well as utilising a larger pipeline....

I believe it is recommended by Canton to install this way..AFTER the filter. I used their one way valve..I think some in this thread are confusing an in-line valve with the actuating valve. For my actuating valve I found a SS 12v valve compatible with oils and used that...much cheaper than buying one from Canton or Moroso..I think I paid under $25...

The electric valve is the piece with the black solenoid closer to the front on the same inner fender... 8101293-airpan2.jpg (58 downloads)
