Oil Accumaltor anyone?

[SirWarrior]

Just wondering if anyone is running an oil accumaltor. I think Moroso makes them.

if you dont want to spend the money on the moroso ones search google for Pre Oilers you come up with some good info I am thinking of putting one on my car when i delve back into oil lines

Im not stuck on any brand, just looking through Jeg's catalog and it caught my eye.
Seems like it would be usefull in a low oil pressure situation. So I figured I'd ask.

I have a 2qt Accusump ready to be installed, I just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm planning a remote filter adapter on the block, with the filter relocated on the frame rail...then you just "T" into one of the lines. Easy.

Hardest part is the mounting...if you plan to use it as a pre-oiler, you need to be able to close a valve and leave oil in the accumulator BEFORE you turn off the motor. Then before you start it again, you open the valve and oil pressure builds...problem is, it's not so great to have a manual valve on a street car with a pass seat, b/c that means you have to mount the accumulator somewher enear the passenger, with the valve in reach of the driver...then you've got ~300 F oil circulating IN the passenger cabin...not so good IMO.

You can get electric valves, but they cost as much as the accumulator does in the 1st place!

Anyway, they are GREAT for a car that sees high RPM use and decent g-loads (high speed corners)...and good for cars that sit for long periods between starts.

I was looking at the electric one, but on Ebay so the prices don't seem that bad.
I was also thinking about the 1.5qt one. 2qts seems like overkill.
