Accusump troubles....

your preparation sounds different than what i did, which i tried to do following their directions. Empty, let the air down to about 7 psi in the A'sump. This is what becomes much higher pressurized when it is hooked up to a motor's pressure. Then, with the arrow pointing away from the A'sump, hooked it up. So, on my car, when i put electricity to the A'sump, it opens the valve, and the pressurised oil flows to the motor. It will fill if i turn the electricity off, as the electric valve has a one way inlet, if the power is off. With my engine running, the A'sump oil pressure gage will read the same as my engine's oil pressure gage, then if i turn the A'sump off, it holds the pressure until i want to pre-lube the motor before starting it.

I miswired it the first time, are you sure you actually have power when you think you should?

I was trying to prelube a new motor.... gotta get the oil in before startup! Thanks anyway...



All is well, hooked it up to the motor, then put in about 50 PSI with oil on the oil end. Flipped the switch... ahhhh.... fresh oil!!!

Works great! I love it! Thanks for all the help!

here is what I installed it in...
