Question for those of you who have dry-sumped your 4-cylinder cars.
What is the tank volume everyone's using and what are you doing to keep it from draining into the crank-case when the motor isn't running?

Thanks
Fred

3 gallon capacity is perfect.
If the bottom of the tank is level with the bottom of the engine there will be no issues with the engine overfilling with oil at rest.
f the tank is far above the engine sump you will need a special check valve.

Where is your tank? My plumbing recommendations are that the tank-outlet be 200mm above the pump-inlet. I was looking at a 8quart tank-planned on putting it under the rear deck.
