Accusump Technical Information


The Accusump, the original automotive oil accumulator, is designed to provide the engine with oil pressure before the starter is even engaged. An Accusump is a cylinder shaped aluminum storage container that acts as a reservoir of pressurized oil, to be released when there is a drop in the oil pressure.

The Accusump is connected to the pressure side of an engine's oiling system and is charged by the engines own oil pump. Its simple, efficient design revolves around a hydraulic piston separating an air pre-charge side and the oil reservoir side. On the oil side of the Accusump, it has an outlet that goes into the engine's oiling system, controlled by a valve. On the air side, it's equipped with a pressure gauge and a Schrader air pre-load valve.

Normal Operating Conditions


Discharging When Pickup Is Uncovered


The Accusump provides that extra margin of protection that you need against engine damage caused by loss of oil pressure. Racing and high performance street engines by nature are put under a lot of stress by the high G-load situations they are commonly placed in. As oil in your pan sloshes about, your oil pump pickup can become uncovered, which causes a loss of oil pressure and sets the stage for severe engine damage. The Accusump provides oil during these times reducing the potential for damage.

Installation

Using stock block mounted spin-on type oil filter - It's possible to retain the stock oil filter in the original location using an oil input Sandwich Adapter that connects to the Accusump by a hose. This oil input Adapter mounts between your existing OEM spin-on type oil filter and your engine block. The adapter has a single threaded 1/2" NPT input hole that provides a passage directly to your engines oiling system and receives oil from the Accusump through a hose and appropriate fittings. Using an adapter is the simplest way to install an Accusump system.

Plumbing into existing external oil lines - If your engine is already using an external oiling system such as a remote oil cooler or a remote oil filter, the Accusump can be plumbed into the existing lines with a T-fitting. Some remote spin-on type oil filter mounts like ours have a third port that can also be used to plumb into.
