Subject: Re: C4 Accusump mounting spot by BillH on 2008/5/21 15:10:39 An Accusump is basically a hydraulic accumulator that separates oil from a pressurized air chamber. It can have manually or electric valve to actuate it. It has 2 functions. The valve is opened before starting, it provides oil pressure for startup. The pressurized oil in the Accusump also provides oil pressure in case the oil pickup is uncovered under hard braking or high G loads in cornering. The valve is closed before engine shutdown (or at engine shutdown with the electric valve) to store oil pressure for the next startup. |
