Default Accusump.. any info on it??

hi guys.

anyone used the accusump system before??

just wanna know how the system is triggered, as i understand there are 2 types of valve, manual and electric.

i cant imagine there is anything more 'manual' than turning it on or off when you start and stop the engine??

any info would be great..

thanks!!

P

also.. 2 4 or 6 pint for a 2ltr size engine lol

Sounds like a good idea, but personally I would just go dry sump if I was bothering at all.
