electric oil pressure primer kit? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Does anyone recall a product a few years ago that was offered that was an electric engine oil primer? I remember seeing it on on the Spike TV truck shows but all my google searches come up with these funky pressure tanks that are based on the previous starts.

The one I recall was an electric one and I always thought it was a cool product; perhaps, it didn't work well and not on the market. But before I give up hope I was wondering if it was just not that well advertised or carried by major outlets.

Thanks,
Victor

I've seen the funky pressure tank things work very well-but I haven't seen a electric one. Maybe RTM website can help http://www.powerblocktv.com

Well as much as I hate to link to an Amsoil product (not a fan of them), they sell what they call Oil Precharger. It is electric and has a small tank, that is uses to store oil. When you turn your key on, its supposed to pressurize the oil system. Not cheap though, $400 if I remember correctly.
