[Fot] Accusump cleaning, was sump capacity

[Bill Babcock]

Yes, but be careful doing it. I've had mine apart. There's a hard coating on
the inside that you really don't want to scratch. It's basically just a tube
with a piston that separates air from the oil. I thought mine might be
sticking because I clamped it in the wrong place. It wasn't. Cleaned it all up
with some fresh diesel and stuck it back together.
