| Administrator | Here is what I'm thinking. It is a replacement tank cap that runs off 12 volts(car fuse box, only hot when car running) it has a small rod that pertrudes into the tank, reaching the oil in tank. Now after a few it will heat the oil up so it will flow more smoothly in the winter time. It will also be equipped with a small thermostat or mercury switch, so when the temp reaches about 75-85 degrees it will shut off... So what do you think? Will it work? Dennis |

| I think the idea's there.... but wouldn't it only heat up the oil in the tank, the tank oil rarely makes it to the cylinders as the pipe and rams are already full of fluid and as you know it becomes solid matter under pressure so the oil in the tank is only picked up by the pump and used as pressure against the oil backed up in the rest of the system (unless you have a leak) or your car drops so hard that the oil is squirted back down the lines and into the tank, this would create a vacuum though and the oil would be pulled back down the lines to the cylinder again ! If you can keep the moving parts warm (cylinders, and pump heads i reckon you'd be onto something. It would have to get pretty hot to warm the whole system up ! |
