I understand Chris. One question for you: why didnt you order the high pressure hose for the Accusump? Also, You may in the future install quick disconnect fittings for that "just in case" moment or for cleaning purposes.
Overall, I think your setup is very nice.
I asked Terry to wire up the AccuSump with an electrical switch, once the key is in the ON position, it is active and ready to run. This is how I would change the oil. I would drop the oil from pan, then turn the key to ON, the AccuSump then dumps its oil and boom, all 9 quarts are out. The fill is just the reverse. Fill the car with 6 quarts, turn the key to ON, the AccuSump sucks up its 3 qts then continue to fill the oil in the motor, to again the grand total of 9 quarts. Of course, I haven't change my oil yet and I know it will be a fun experience.
The quick disconnect is a good idea and I will ask Terry if he can install something like that, of course with a bypass hose, if necessary.
Plus, my car is always a work in progress, just like most people here.
