Sparky your exactly right... I have one ... and I might sell it..
Nascar runs them on the rear ends to move oil without the drag of a
mechanical pump.
The first time I've seen one in operation was up at Muscle Motorsports...
Grib was doing some component testing with a device that required a cool
oil supply and he had this thing set up on a battery with a charger ... I
was waiting for Tonya to get back from a Linda Tour of the local shopping
malls... So I got to set up a pressure gauge on his machine.... the pump
made 100 psi with no problems running it through a -4 line as I
ecall...( 1/4" by the way... each - of an AN fitting represents 1/16th of an
inch. )
Just a cool way to effectively move oil.... would I trust it for my
engine... Hmmm not at this point but if someone could prove to me that it
was reliable enough I guess I might start evaluating actual oil system usage
and think about it on a small bore motor like a motorcycle... I know Nascar
trusts it for 500 miles... that has to be worth something.

> Jon, I bought a used 12V from Gibb at Motorsports--Keith has one he might
sell--also Grainger has a 12V brass pump for marine use that should work
also--I assume you are using it for a TURBO sump pump? The used Tilton is
slightly smaller than the Grainger--it does not have a mounting bracket like
the Grainger part # 4P062. $123.
