I'm thinking of adding an Accusump Oil Accumulator to my project DE/track car. The interior will have 2 seats but I would like to mount the accumulator so I can manually control it when starting the engine.
The one car I saw had the accumulator installed where the passenger seat is/was located so the driver could control it while strapped in. With two seats in my car, where else have any of you seen these units located? Thanks Race car this weekend at Watkins Glen with Accusump. |

Don't mount it in the passenger compartment. Mine blew up once and shot 2 quarts of hot oil everywhere. It was in the engine compartment and I'm really glad it wasn't right next to me.
My situation was a combination of small problems that led to it's failure, but still you don't want that thing next to you. |
