Dry Sump Tank design
Any rules of thumb about dry sump oil tank capacity versus engine capacity. I have to fit tank into an awkward place is the tank just a big void or is
there stuff inside it to seperate the oil & air? If so how does it work

Best info I've seen in writing is in Carrol Smiths "prepare to win"
I can try scan it if you like.
Basically, must be vertical cylinder, openable for cleaning, horizantial baffles are sensable, inlet to allow oil to run along wall cetrifuge style.
Tank to run about half fulll?
Bartons catalouge also has a good paragraph on this, they reccomand minium 7 liters
Cheers

I have a pace tank, want me to take some pictures of the intenals? Wouldnt say its that straight forward to make one!!
If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!
