I'm hoping some one has a pdf of the oil tank dimensions. I want to build one like brant. Heck I'll send him a pm and see if he has them. If you've built your own or have the dimensions feel free to post them. Pics are good.

So was there a baffle, or some tube arrangement in the tanks that you were making Don?
If I'm looking at the inside of the factory tank correctly, it appears that the pressure side is going to the filter and then dumping back into the tank above the screen, so the oil can't short cut right back to the suction side of the circuit. So in theory you could just do the whole thing in -12 with the return dumping in the top of the tank, and remotely locate the filter console (like a Mecca or Oberg) wherever you want. |

So was there a baffle, or some tube arrangement in the tanks that you were making Don? No baffling, but I did change the tube that dumped the oil out to the back of the tank, tangent to the slope. This cut down on foaming, as well as put hot oil at the back where cooling was optimal. If you keep your oil level right, you shouldn't have a problem with oil starvation. If your racing hill climbs, and have oil starvation issues, baffling would only be my third thought... far behind an accusump or cylinder style oil tank. |
