oil resevoir need venting?

[mngoat]

Have oil tank that has electric pump circulating oil thru turbo and dripping back into tank....just a loop....does it need to be vented. If so would something like this work?

I think most people say it should be vented because pressure can/ will build up in there, I'm not sure about that vent tho

that vent would work, but usually you want something with some kind of rollover check valve. Will the vent you listed, if the sled sat upside down for an extended period your oil would start leaking out.

On the XP stock oil tank there is a vent line with a check valve inline. Plumb in a fitting to the tank, some line and that check valve, it works pretty well. Make sure you run the check valve the proper direction.

And yes you will need to vent it

Thanks guys.

you will only need to vent if you are running too much oil pressure. 20 is good and then a vent isn't needed.

I have seen turbos pressure up the tank sometimes. A vent is alsways a good idea.

Turbo oil tank cap leaking

I am sure you have looked at this link by now, if not check it out .
I have posted a picture to show what I did to eliminate the oily oil tank cap issue. Has worked flawlessly for the 2 sleds that I converted.

Maybe I am missing something, but if it exits through the belly pan, how do you keep snow/ice from plugging it?

Woops... sorry, meant to post to the other thread...
