1 Gal reservoir:eek:
Why do you need such a large reservoir? Is Rick referring to the expansion capacity? That would make sense because of the volume in the system I guess. The oil needs time to come in and get back out as well as loose some of the air out too. The oil is gravity feed to the pumps but pumped back into the reservoir. This is why the reservoir is typically mounted to the bulkhead and the lines go to the engine pumps. |
I've been following this on the Donzi forum and glad to see it here where it will get a lot more exposure. 85 mph is a good speed goal. I'm still looking forward to seeing your final results and impressions. Good job. Could be more of us doing this mod.

THis replaces the pump cap, and allows for an external tank

THe problem you may run into is gravity. The tank needs to be higher then the top of the pump. THere is not a lot of room to pull that off.on a 22. Its possible but may take some creativity.

The cap states that it is 1/4npt, that's pretty small....I'm thinking I might need to machine that out, am I wrong? |
Forgot to mention, thank you! That should save me a ton of time!
|
people use those caps all the time without a problem....

1/4" npt is bigger than the 1/4" indicates. Hole diameter is probably somewhere between .400" and .500" Too lazy to go downstairs in garage to measure one. LOL.

I should have about 8" of a 45 degree drop, do you think that is enough?
