Hi I ALL

I am just trial fitting my accusump into my dax Is It possible to pipe up the oil line from the accusump in 15mm copper pipe because there is a bit of a distance between engine and accusump has anyone done this before.

regards Mick

Cant see why not, you will have a larger capacity accusump too as a bonus ?

Where are you picking the oil up from the engine ?

Yup, that's the place on the Bird, that's why I asked, if you break into a oil cooler line its much less effective, (totally ineffective) the oil cooler runs at reduced pressure and returns oil to the sump, not the oil galleries, not trying to teach you how to suck eggs, just making sure you protect your engine.

I fitted mine to the oil gallery spare on the front of the engine,

Look at the blue pipe follow it it gives indication where to fit it.

Hope this helps, Rescued attachment accusump.jpg
