Dry Sump Advice

What Im not sure of - Top two fittings into the tank are the return back into the tank, and the catch tank ?


Then the bottom ones, there are three. One is a jic (?) fitting, which I suspect is the engine oil feed, it shares the same size fitting as the oil pump.



The other two threaded outlets on the base , if one is a drain whats the other for ?



Similarly on the pump, am I correct the top left elbow is the oil return, and the bottom right is the engine feed ?



If anyone can shed any light on the fitting sizes please, I am bamboozled with the amount of different fittings.

Take it to a place that makes hydraulic pipes up. It looks like a mixture of hydraulic and b,s,p fittings.

Theres a Pirtek place near me which I hadnt considered, cheers.



Still need some clues on what the different ins and outs are for.

Oil temp and oil drain

That's what I would use them for

I'd hazard a guess at the ones to the right side of this photo are NPT threads

What is the outside diameter of the threads of the fitting on the left?

If it's 7/8" (with 14 teeth per inch, or 7 teeth per half inch) then the fitting you want is AN10 (-10)

If it's 1 1/16" (with 12 teeth per inch, or 6 per half inch) then the fitting you want is AN12 (-12)

If it's 1 5/16" (with 12 teeth per inch, or 6 per half inch) then the fitting you want is AN16 (-12)

To back up the sizes mentioned above, what is the outside diameter of the pipe fitting (in the photo below) where the bend is, the following sizes correspond to the fitting size written next to them

Outside diameter of 5/8" = AN10 (-10)
Outside diameter of 3/4" = AN12 (-12)
Outside diameter of 1" = AN16 (-16)

Try ebay for the fittings (www.torques.co.uk) do some good deals on this type of fitting.

The 90deg elbow is one I've taken from the oil pump, and also fits straight onto the bottom supply outlet. 3/4 bore and a 1 1/4 across the flats.


The top 2 - are. 0.464/11.8mm bore and 1.115/29.2mm across the flat, which is 1 1/18th


I've been looking a jic dimensions, which the .464 doesn't appear in. Hence my confusion, I didn't realise they were AN fittings.


Cheers for the help, I'm best looking at the AN fittings now it might make sense.
