So I have this 2.7 that I need to see if it starts. IF it does start, I need to start thinking about the oil tank. The one in there is a 911 tank and it's cut into the trunk, which won't do. I have heard of others putting the tank in the front trunk. I have also seen repo oil tanks, but those are $$$.
Anyone have hints or tips for this. I am just trying to get an idea of what I am looking at. Thanks! |

I've seen 2 cars that had a 911 oil tank mounted in the front trunk. Both of them wasted their engine due to drops in oil pressure right after start up. If the tank height isn't perfect or if there's a dip or rise in the oil lines, the oil will run to the lowest point, create an air bubble in the suction line, and deprive the oil pump for a few seconds.
That's really bad for engines. |
