[QUOTE="collinmaune, post: 759604, member: 7334"] So after an hour call with Jeff Howe, along with messages back and forth with Scott at Scotts pumps and Eric ant Radial dynamics, it was pretty clear the more fluid the better. It stays cooler, less air etc. So since my buddy is an amazing tig welder I figured why not make mine bigger and in a better place on the buggy, I ended up getting 8"x12" diameter 6061 tubing for around 20 bucks we cut it to 7.75 inches tall. Next me templated the buggy dash bar bend and translated to part of the reservoir. So on one side it is 7.75 inches tall the other is 6 inches tall. It is built to fit 50% under the dash bar and 50% flat with the dash bar. it should hold roughly 1.2 Gallons of fluid with a baffle in it at 6" from the bottom. The pump suction is 3/4" from the bottom of the reservoir, while the inlet side is 4". We went with -16 an fittings for both inlet and outlet, as well as a 16 lb weld on filler neck 2 howe 3x12 inline coolers and a remote baldwin bt839-10filter. The pump suction part of the reservoir is still 4 inches higher then any other part of the steering. Like I said in the post before this is just something i dreamed up and there is a chance it won't work. [/QUOTE]
