Sweet SOHN OMP Bladder idea...
I have ordered my SOHN OMP and I'm going to use a 1.5L Camelbak Bladder in a 1.5-1.7L steel tube with simple bracket mounts to hold my 2 stroke oil. Will post when completed

U don't happen to be in the military are you?

I definitely am, The Canadian forces though...

subbed...

just because I can I will put a stainless steel sleeve over the tube with shrink wrap and some mild adhesive to hold it in place at either end... try and make the setup look nice

Who else would be in Petawawa Sounds like fun. I really like the idea of using something different. I am going to use a mini keg for my gas can in my Austin 1100. I have been thinking a lot of a solution to 2 canisters where the one is. subscribed for sure. Keep in mind adhesives aren't worth a shit around petroleum products. |
noted, I will use hose clamps then :P the adhesive is just to ensure the SS doesn't slide around on the tube (*crap now I gotta see if the shrink tube will stay in place on a rubber tube with glue*)... I like function but looks are important too... And just a note, I don't like rainbow engine bays, just nice clean silver, greys, blacks, anything that can rust gets paint!

:lol:, I can't see this going well but I would love to be proven wrong.

well I figure with a bladder I never need to worry about air getting in due to sloshing or anything weird, and 1.5L is easy enough to keep track of, besides if it doesn't work I don't care, I didn't pay anything to get the bladder and the tubes and stuff! :D Perks of knowing material technicians...
besides the hose that comes with the bladder should resist oil easy enough, and if not I can swap it for another kind, the hose clamps should prevent leaks and I can get the mat techs to fabricate a tube with a flat back, and two thin flat pieces on the front with a clear plastic face in between (*maybe an inch or two wide for easy viewing*) also leave a small gap at the bottom or cut a hole in the plastic so I can poke the tube out there... maybe use a little bar of metal straight across the inside a cm infront of the plastic for the top of the camelbak to hook on so it stands upright :P I get my car back from Mazda at the end of the month (*said my engine is on back order from Japan... >:X bs I think but w/e*) and I would say give me a week or two after that to figure it out from there and we will have results whether s***ty or not.. |
why not just use the washer fluid tank? thats what i did
|
I like the idea of the washer fluid container because of the dummy light. What did you use for your washer fluid?

Well I for one use my washer fluid. |
.... perhaps I could use the bladder for washer fluid instead then and use the washer tank for oil... although I'm under my hood often enough I don't think I would have to worry
although I'm painting that damn washer fluid tank regardless... so brutal |

yes, the washer fluid cap has a small hole for air-- thats why i used it
|
You wouldn't get the same air pressure (back pressure) with a soft lined bag as a hard walled container though.
|
Not gonna lie, I hadn't thought of that, but thats one reason for a bladder, it just shrinks instead of creating a vacuum, at least until it's empty, but with 1.5 liters that shouldn't be a problem, I just have to not be a dumba** and check it maybe twice a week..
|
sound like a lot of effort to use a bladder...
|
+1 I would just buy a reservoir or use the washer fluid reservoir.
|
Yeah the more I think about it, the dumber this idea seems.
