Before I put this on

as someone mentioned earlier you can also control the amount of oil in the pan. instead of dropping 2 qts for heads up, change accumulator pressure

After reading all these post it got me thinking, would it be better to dump the tank oil back into the pan (with a one way check valve) so the pump could continue pumping from a steady supply? Or is it ok to dump into the pressure column since some volumn would be forced back at the pump even though its sucking air (more bubbles) at the time?

Has to be plumbed to a pressure source - typically oil filter plumbing on the filtered oil side - or it will never fill.

Yes, reason I said some type of one way check valve. But just a thought.
For the can, I plan on using the port where the filter screws on.

I doubt the can could supply enough volume quickly enough to keep the pump supplied with oil. Better to feed the pressure side.

Have all the plumbing match the feed hole in the block, don't make a restriction with fittings or hoses that are to small. If necessary enlarge feed holes in block

I see your point, thanks
