thinking of installing a wee system on my G40 conversion.
i understand the main benifit is the chargers not getting any gunk collected at the bottom of the sump passed through it and keeping a constant presure and temperature are there any other benifits?
Also what pump is best to use as i have seen a few different ones used and im a bit confused.
i know how to wire it up and the lines, tank and pump location i have a clue where im going with it but thought i would ask first before i waste buying a pump and making a tank to fine out it wont work.
cheers richard
The constant pressure will protect seals etc from large fluctuations in engine oil pressure too I guess? Easier to keep temperatures from getting too high as well.
PSD kits used a facet fuel pump which are about £60 or so I believe, you have to run really thin oil and they run at about 5psi or something low like that.
I'd want a fuel pressure gauge or a low pressure buzzer or something to keep my paranoia at bay though!
the PSD kits used a facet fuel pump which costs about £20. They're not really designed to pump oil so you need to use very thin stuff. I used compressor oil in mine. The main advantage is that it keeps it at a steady pressure.
thanks guys. so its a facet petrol pump really presume the pump needs to be mounted lower than the tank or does it not really matter?
yeah it should be mounted lower, use a nice fat pipe as well.
