[Land-speed] Dry Sump Systems

[Larry Mayfield]

The other day we had a discussion about dry sump systems, tank designs 
etc. Today I was wasting time on the computer, a favorite past time, and 
stumbled across a dry sump oil pump maker who had a video of air 
entrainment in the return oil. And of course a solution for that...  
here is the link to a very short video...

Several things are apparent 1) holy crap! that's a lot of air, 2) holy 
crap!, the air stays int eh oil a long time, 3) holy crap!, you need the 
air oil separator,4) oil just looks like it comes down the outlet, none 
of this fancy swirling to eliminate air, 5) scavenge pumps ad a LOT of 
air to the oil...6) don't use a see through tank, lol...
