Re: Canton accusump vs. Moroso accumulator
So.....without a regulated pressure switch, when you turn engine off, doesn't the pressurized oil in accumulator pump back to the oil pan? If so, no pre-oiling at start up, (how important this is, is debatable) would happen as the accumulator is empty.

Re: Canton accusump vs. Moroso accumulator
Without a switch or manual valve the oil pressure will bleed off. Not having a switch to me is a waste of time as it defeats the purpose.

Re: Canton accusump vs. Moroso accumulator
I think the pre-lube feature is a secondary feature to the accumulator. I would guess most are utilizing it's capabilities as a safeguard against oil starvation.
