Default Re: canton accusump

Turbo , I have a very old 1QT system installed under the battery tray . Its been there since 1994 and has never failed . I use it to pre-lube the engine prior to startup ,cold or hot ,also a side benefit is that if the oil pressure falls below a certain set point the accumulator will intervene to maintain that set point . It saved me when I let the oil level get a little low and I was blasting around some back roads and the pressure dropped due to sloshing and exposing the pickup . Currently I am looking at the 2 qt unit but i do not have an adequate space picked out yet since they are 4.250" in Dia . Additionally I use Mobil 1 and OEM filters since day one . One more thing Moroso also makes one like the Canton/ Accusump that is available through Summit . I have never used the Moroso but just to let you know there are options . Steve
