: Finished - Sealed Power Reservoir jdjanda 11-20-2002, 07:26 PM Here is what I came up with, under $20 Moroso Filler Cap 17.99 ½ to ¼ Gal pipe bushing $0.59 15 minutes worth of welding BigRich care to chime in with your blessing jdjanda 11-20-2002, 07:28 PM Finished Product The welding is a beetch (for me at et least) also be careful of too much heat the reservoir is brazed so too much heat might cause things to come apart. 66CJdean 11-20-2002, 07:48 PM Why the hosebarb fitting? mike 11-20-2002, 07:51 PM Still hasta vent? jdjanda 11-20-2002, 08:07 PM Yup needs to vent, I don't think the seals on the pump would last too long without. The vent line will run through a PCV valve (cheap roll over check) then to a catch can per CalRocs rules. Brawler 11-20-2002, 08:07 PM looks like a spout to me.:flipoff2: Is it really sealed if it has to vent? Sounds like an oxymoron to me. Looks good though. I Lean 11-20-2002, 08:40 PM I like that, might just "borrow" your idea. I think I'll run that vent out the middle of the cap though..... 66CJdean 11-20-2002, 09:55 PM A vent... Makes sence. camo 11-20-2002, 09:59 PM necessity really is the mother :D Chief yelling alot 11-20-2002, 10:17 PM a PCV Valve :confused: ok so it warms up and vents out some air threw the PCV valve you shut it down for the night and it cools and the air inside cools and contracts but it can not suck in due to the PCV valve. wont this cause a vacume inside and do some harm :confused: jdjanda 11-20-2002, 10:45 PM Originally posted by Chief yelling alot a PCV Valve :confused: ok so it warms up and vents out some air threw the PCV valve you shut it down for the night and it cools and the air inside cools and contracts but it can not suck in due to the PCV valve. wont this cause a vacume inside and do some harm :confused: I've checked the valves out, the up position is open, there should not be enough pressure to shut the valve, only in the turtle position with fluid flow will the valve close. At the end of the vent line will be a catch can per the rules. BJ On Roids 11-20-2002, 11:19 PM sweet so its now a saginaw pump that can take a remote reservoir? NICE!!

Thats what i was thinking when trying to come up with a solution.. thecarman 11-21-2002, 02:08 PM Originally posted by jdjanda At the end of the vent line will be a catch can per the rules. But what's the catch can like? Is it sealed? If so, then there's no vent, right? And if it's not sealed, then it can leak if you roll, right? :confused: Maine Jeepah 11-21-2002, 03:58 PM Originally posted by thecarman But what's the catch can like? Is it sealed?

And if it's not sealed, then it can leak if you roll, right? :confused: The catch can has a hose barb fitting with a hose and PCV valve and another catch can for the catch can? And so on? I dont get the point...if it needs a catch can then its not sealed? MJ :eek: mike 11-21-2002, 04:00 PM I think its just an attempt at stopping leaks. It might work a bit, but well... as has been said before that can needs to vent too... Scout Dude 11-21-2002, 04:07 PM My 85 van pump housing has a large barb on the top that is supposed to attach to remote resevoir. Real easy to make a cap and vent without welding to the pump housing.:flipoff2: Scout Dude 11-21-2002, 04:09 PM Here, found a pic: jdjanda 11-21-2002, 07:57 PM Originally posted by Scout Dude My 85 van pump housing has a large barb on the top that is supposed to attach to remote resevoir.

Good to see you let the local blind kid weld it up for you :flipoff2: jdjanda 11-21-2002, 08:29 PM Originally posted by The Rockslut Sure is custom.
