Installation Instructions
1. Select the pressure holding side of solenoid valve marked (2) and installs it on the storage tank with a short 1/8 nipple. The discharge side marked (1) connects to the hose going to the engine. The tank can be at an angle as long as the opening stays covered with oil.
Next place tank in the mounting bracket with outlet facing down and tighten securely.
2. Remove oil pressure sending unit from engine, if your engine has an oil pressure gauge, install the tee fitting on the pressure holding side of the solenoid valve (2) so it will show the pressure in the tank when not running and the engine oil pressure when it is running.
Or if your vehicle has a low pressure light only installing the tee on the discharge side of valve (1) will be better
The oil pressure-sending unit should be at a 90-degree angle to the hoseto insure rapid flow of oil through the tee and into engine.
Use the supplied Teflon thread tape to seal all pipe threads.
Measure distance from sending unit tee to solenoid valve on the tank and cut hose to fit.
Make sure to stay away from exhaust pipes and manifolds or any other source of heat that could damage the oil hose!Install a male or swivel Parker PUSH-LOK fitting in hose end. Connect this fitting to tee on engine and the other end with the swivel fitting to the solenoid valve on storage tank.
3. Run hot wire from solenoid valve through firewall and connect to the supplied fuse tap. Turn key on and use a test light on the fuse circuits to select best one to supply 12volt
to the valve. Make sure to select one that isn’t hot in accessories position.
Run ground wire from solenoid valve to best position on vehicle. (Either terminal on solenoid valve will work as ground or positive)
(Installation tip for Parker PUSH-LOK fittings) Use water to lubricate fitting. Place fitting on workbench and push all the way down to yellow washer. Use existing swivel fitting as example.
Caution! Don’t attempt to remove the fitting installed in the storage tank. It is a straight metric size with an o-ring and sealed with Loctite red #271 thread locker.
Caution! Don't install fitting on engine and try to push hose over it. It's easy to do with a solid backup such as a table or workbench but very difficult to do properly otherwise.
Caution! Don't use silicon spray or any other lubricant to install Parker PUSH-LOK fitting on the hose as it might slip off during operation and ruin your engine!!!
Caution! The Parker PUSH-LOK hose and fittings are unique and can't be used in combination with other hose brands or fittings. Failure to install properly will ruin your engine if it comes off during operation.
