Todd, et al,
Trivial input perhaps, albeit solidly scientific in analysis.
The oil goes in the opposite direction of vehicle acceleration, so the oil return heads to the rear very naturally. So does the oil in the sump (pan).
The angle of the liquid is a function of the acceleration in g.
1g = 45deg liquid angle
60ft times reference is something interesting to look at.
Particularly where the oil pickup is placed in a drag racing vehicle!
1.4sec = 62.28deg liquid angle
1.5sec = 58.9deg liquid angle
1.6sec = 55.54deg liquid angle
All these things and more were included in the paper I sent to you a while back. These things apply to
all liquids in the vehicle, including the fuel system.
