Hey the tanks already exist in aircraft hydraulic systems and can be bought surplus in a lot of places. However I spent A LOT of time reading up on this and other than aircraft, large heavy equipment motors, big boats and big gen sets that start yearly or less it just isn't common to employ...

What if we approach this another way. What about a tank, pressurized from normal engine oil pressure separated from the system with a 24v solenoid and a in-flow one way valve. When you go to start the solenoid dumps and it shoots a measured volume of oil through the system. Whenever the...

We really only use it in the summer, it is sort of hibernating now. I will add researching additives to my list of things to do on this. Ken

dmetalmiki, that is awesome, exactly what I am talking about building. Where did you tap in to get your oil? (edit: didn't see your reply) I was trying to decide of I could grab an external feed and dump it back in, sort of like a remote oil cooler but a pump instead. Do you ever have...

With what we plan to do with our 923 it will get started 10-20 times a day. I hate, HATE the fact that for the first 5-10 seconds or so there is no oil pressure. It makes me cringe every time I start it because you can hear the sound change when the motor starts oiling. I have been looking...
