[Fot] Accusump

[Fubog1]

 without the check valve, some of the charge is going to want to back up
through the pump, so it is reducing the effectiveness of the thing...
FWIW

If you have a connection straight to the engine oil gallery then there isn't
much reason for all that plumbing and a one way valve that might cause
problems. I just plumb the accusump straight to the gallery. Done. If you use
a mechanical ball valve you need to be a bit careful opening the valve unless
you know the accusump has lots of pressure because you'll steal pressure from
the gallery. If you open and close the valve briefly you'll see the engine
oil
pressure dip as you rob oil from the gallery, but doing that a few times
equalizes the pressure quickly, and the valve and line are so big that
pressure increases with RPM happen almost as quickly as without the accusump.

The electric valves have a flow limiting mechanism that limits how much oil
the system can rob.

I'm a big fan of simple--no oil thermostat, no one way valve., no T's. Just a
line from the filter adapter to the oil cooler and back, and one line for the
accusump.
