Accusump questions
I have a few questions before I purchase all of the parts for my accusump.
1) What is the difference between the 3 qt accusump (24-006) and the 3 qt "high pressure" (24-016) accusump? I could probably fit this one, since most of the junk at the front end will be removed for the track. The website says:
"(#24-016) are for severe racing conditions, where there is room for a unit of this size.
The longer length of this new version allows it to hold more air which results in the system operating in a narrower oil pressure range.
Ideal for engines which operate in a higher oil pressure range."
2) I want to implement a check valve into the system. Will it work if I purchase a sandwich adapter with an inlet/outlet, put a check valve on the outlet line, run to a tee, then accusump/back to sandwich? Like this: sandwich--->check valve-->line to a tee-->-->line to accusump and line back to the sandwich adapter. Something like this adapter: http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/html...-adapters.html This also would give me the oppurtunity to add an oil cooler later down the road.
I think that is it for now. I really appreciate those that have helped me out; it means a lot... seriously.

Mark,
Don't know the difference since I'm running the standard 3qt with the old style electric valve. My simple setup uses a canton spin-on filter with an an-10 fitting tapped into the end of the filter housing. The spinon from canton has a built in check valve. Single line from the accusump to the filter.
The older canton filters had a bolt-on end plate and they sold one that was tapped already. Their ne design is a screw on end cap, so you'll have to tap it yourself since I don't think they sell a tapped screwon end cap. Not a big deal.
Been using this setup for 4 years.
Good luck.

Thanks, John. That sounds much easier. I take it you are SURE that the filter has a check valve? I don't want the accusump pushing oil back into the pan. I had no idea they sold oil filters. So you just change the element when you change the oil?
I appreciate all of the help, John.
Does anyone know about the high-pressure deal?
