Surely that just dumps shitloads too much oil in, rather than giving oil pressure in the engine?
On start up when the valve on the oil side is opened, the pressurised oil is released into the engine and pre lubricates the engine. The canister then holds whatever oil pressure the engine has at the time that it is shut off. After the engine is started and the oil pump has taken over, oil is pumped back into the Accusump. A pretty mint piece of kit, so simple and effective
