I'm installing an Accusump in my track car and want to put it behind the passengers seat. I still need the seat for DE and want to know if i'm going to cook the instructor?
Any thoughts? |

Although it takes a while to get hot, unless the unit is pushing oil out and recovering hot oil, like in cornering. For DE's, if you put it behind the passenger seat think you will definitely create a "hot foot" situation. The unit fits nicely in the trunk  |

If it is working correctly, charging and discharging oil... It should get as hot as the oil...

Thanks guys. Seen them in the cab before, but there was no passenger seat.

Hey Shane,
I'm not sure if this matters to you, but that would make the car no longer road-legal, at least in Florida. Can't have engine fluids entering the driver compartment. I'm not sure what tech implications there are either - I think PCA would be cool with it though. |

I never liked the idea of it being in the cab with me anyways. Just wanted to use the space behind the seat. It fit so nicely. It's trunk bound now. Thanks, Shane |

We ran one along side the tunnel, passenger side, in SCCA for 15 years. Never had a problem. It was placed there so the driver could access the shutoff valve.
Actually, it was a hydraulic accumulator from the wing of a Boeing 707/727 (don't remember) rated at 3000 psig. |
