1/2" NPT is still a tad small IMO.
All the AN-12 stuff (which is correct size for a front cooler) is wasted, as you flow will be restricted to 1/2"

The filter adapter should be AN-10 or 5/8" sized, which is right about the stock tank/filter size.

Keith came by to pick up the Patrick sourced Peterson inline style filter on my bench (on the right.) It has AN-12 ends and should let the oil flow as planned.

I wish Keith good luck on a Monday start-up with no more major oil issues.

Mark is right on.. I have now sold 20 tanks and have factory drawings.. Most people run to small and it should be 5/8" .


Not sure I would jeopardize the expensive engine with any thing less then what factory stock was. I actually now make all my tanks with 3/4" id tubing because of the possibility of larger engine requirements.
