Accusump

ACCUSUMP™ OIL ACCUMULATORS
PAT #4,094,293 #4,513,704 #4,513,705 #5,014,820

An Accusump is an oil reservoir that is connected to the engine's oiling system. It is designed to deliver pressurized oil to an engine before starting to eliminate dry star scuffing (pre-oiling) and to discharge its reservoir of oil during low oil pressure surges to protect against engine damage during demanding racing conditions.

It installs simply with only one oil line connecting it. Through this line the Accusump fills and discharges. This oil line may be plumbed into the return line of an oil cooler or remote filter using a "T" fitting, into an oil input sandwich adapter, or directly into one of the engines oil galleys.

The Accusump's design includes a piston. On one side of this piston is pressurized air and on the other side of the piston is the reserve of oil. To hold this reserve of oil in the Accusump when the engine is not running and there is no oil pressure to hold it, a valve must be installed on the oil line. The three different valve options for the Accusump are the manual ball valve for pre-oiling and surge control, electric valve for pre-oiling operation , and the EPC (electric pressure control) valve for pre-oiling and surge control. Before the engine is started the operator should open the manual valve or turn on the toggle switch or ignition switch to activate the electric valve or the EPC valve. The opened or activated valve releases the reserve of oil that is under pressure in the Accusump. This released oil will go tot the engine's bearings to pre-oil the engine for a non-scuff start. After the engine is running and the oil pump builds pressure, oil is pumped back into the Accusump for the next restart or whenever the engine's normal oil pressure is interrupted. The Accusump will automatically charge and discharge as needed to maintain oil pressure during hard cornering , acceleration and braking.
ACCUSUMP™ UNITS
Canton 3 Quart Accusump 3 Quart Accusump
#24-006 The 3 Quart. Accusump is ideal for V-8 and high horsepower V-6 and 4 cylinder engines. It is the original and has been providing pre-oiling and surge protection in all types of racing and recreational vehicles for over 30 years. . This unit is 16" long without valve or gauge and 4.25" in diameter. With the gauge installed the length increases 2.5" and the valve installed adds another 3.25". Both the valve and gauge can be mounted away from the unit if necessary.
Canton 3 Quart High Pressure Accusump 3 Quart High Pressure Accusump
#24-016 The 3Quart. high pressure Accusump is ideal for big cubic inch r engine, those that operate with high oil pressures, and for severe racing conditions. If there is room for a unit of this size, the longer length allows it to hold more air and oil. This offers more pre-oiling and surge protection in a narrower oil pressure range. This unit is 22" long without valve or gauge and 4.25" in diameter. With the gauge installed the length increases 2.5" and the valve installed adds another 3.25". Both the valve and gauge can be mounted away from the unit if necessary.
Canton 2 Quart Accusump 2 Quart Accusump
#24-026 The 2 Quart. Accusump is ideal for surge control on small block V-8, V-6 and 4 cylinder engines as well as pre-oiling for all engines. . This unit is 12" long without valve or gauge 4.25" in diameter. With the gauge installed the length increases 2.5" and the valve installed adds another 3.25". Both the valve and gauge can be mounted away from the unit if necessary.
Canton 1 Quart Accusump 1 Quart Accusump
#24-046 Canton's 1 Quart. Accusump is ideal for surge control on motorcycle engines and pre-oiling for all engines. It's small size requires minimal space for mounting. This unit is 12" long without valve or gauge and 3.25" in diameter. With the gauge installed the length increases 2.5" and the valve installed adds another 3.25". Both the valve and gauge can be mounted away from the unit if necessary.
MARINE / RV ACCUSUMPS™
Canton Marine Accusump Marine Accusumps are designed specifically for marine applications. Like all Accusumps they provide engine pre oiling as well as surge control. When the ignition is turned on the Accusump will bring the engine oil pressure up to 35-40 lbs. and hold it there for up to 2 minutes or until the engine is started. Once the engine is running and develops over 40 lbs. pressure the unit will automatically refill. Not only does an Accusump protects against dry starts when the boat sits at the dock too long but it also protects against oil pressure surges in rough water, or any time the pressure would drop below 40 lbs.

All components are anodized aluminum, stainless, or brass. Each kit comes with a liquid filled stainless steel pressure gauge, stainless steel mounting clamps, brass safety valve, E.P.C. valve system, on / off switch, wire and terminals and installation instructions.

C/M Marine Accusumps mount in any position, which makes installation easier. All hoses, fittings, and input adapters for your application are available through us.

#24-126 2 quart Marine kit for pre-oiling and surge control on all applications. Tube is 12" long and 4-1/4" Dia.
#24-146 1 quart Marine kit for pre-oiling and surge control on small engine applications. Tube is 12" long and 3-1/4" Dia.
ACCUSUMP™ TURBO-OILER
Canton Accusump Turbo-Oiler #24-150 The Accusump Turbo After-Oiler solves the main cause of turbo wear and failure by supplying a pressurized discharge of oil to the hot turbo bearings during spool down. This oil will lubricate and cool the bearings and prevent coke build up (which limits oil flow) Manufactured with the same design features and tot he same high standards as all Accusumps. A piston separates the oil side from the air pressure side which allows the unit to be mounted in any position and permits an air precharge. With a precharge all the oil is discharged under pressure for positive oiling and no oil is diverted from the engine until pressure is established on restart. The Turbo After-Oiler is easy to install and is virtually maintenance free. All Dimension for Accusump units are for the cylinder only. Fittings will add additional length for mounting requirements . There are three hardware kits available for the Turbo After-Oiler to meet most application requirements. Don't forget to order the mounting clamps.

Accusump Quick Facts
90% of wear on engine components occurs during start up before oil pressure is established. The Accusump can eliminate this "cold start scuffing" by delivering oil under pressure before the engine is started.
The Accusump is precision built from heavy wall, roller burnished aluminum tubing with a teflon hard coated interior for long lasting reliable performance.
The Accusump's design allows it to be mounted in any position, vertical, horizontal, or anywhere in between.
A safety blow off valve designed to release when pressure inside the Accusump increases to an unsafe level is installed on every Accusump. (Valve is only hand tightened from the factory)
If the need ever arises; Any Accusump can be rebuilt using Canton's rebuild service.
Accusump Installation Tips
Using a "T" fitting is a popular method of plumbing an Accusump into an engine's oiling system.
Placing an adapter between your spin-on filter and block to plumb an Accusump into an engines oiling system is also a popular method.
Hose, fittings, and oiling adapters are available individually.
