I went to mount it on the passenger inner fender well in the engine bay and found out there is not enough room. If anyone has one on their F body would you please tell me where you mounted it. Raul

You can mount them anywhere , but it's effectiveness will see a slight drop off if the distance gets too large. No F body , but this fits under the hood. 7959961-cutting029.jpg (166 downloads)

The reaction time wont change with the length of the line. The accumulater is filled by the engines oil pump so the line has a solid column of oil in it. It will react instantly if pressurised properly. However a longer line will reduce its flow, so closer is better but only marginally. Mount the tank where it best fits for you, closest to the engines feed. Last edited by Sport440; 12/15/13 10:26 PM.

Left corner of picture. Here is where we mounted it in the Valiant. Once again a bit hard to see but it is between the radiator and grille.
