Bullman 1 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi what size diameter rubber pipe do you suggest from a 5 port side mounted pace pump to the remote oil filter and returning from the oil filter back to the oil pump.I have read that 1/2 inch is ok but 5/8 is better any thoughts on this?Also what diameter hose from the oil pump to the oil cooler and from the oil cooler back to the oil tank.Thanks Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMorris Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 IIRC recommendation is MINIMUM 1/2" on pressurised parts of the system and MINIMUM 5/8" on unpressurised (i.e. feed from tank to pump). recommendation is also to keep pipe runs to a minimum. Mine has 1/2 from pump to filter and back (as they're VERY close) but 5/8" everywhere else. Burtons catalogue has (I think) some diagrams/info on this. Dave.
