will one of these hold enuff oil, and work for an oil tank on my 650 triumph? its a remote oil filter for a pre full flow car, and is 4 1/4 wide prolly 7 inches long or so

OH PS, it doesn have the filter inside so its just an open can, with a hole on top and bottom. heres another shot of one i found.

pretty neat stuff..... what if i linked two together?

I know there's a ford stamp in the second picture, but that's pretty close to a 59' Cad one I have, was thinking about using for same purpose on a bike, but never got around to it. Sorry I know this dosn't answer your question, but Ace idea! haha...

No reason, if you had one on top of the other and a larger pipe connecting them (free flowing) that it shoudln't work...

i think they were both made by the same company (ford chevy and all the others) just like how delco made all the generators for most of them.

Based on your dimensions that unit would hold 1.5 quarts of oil, others should have some input but if it were me I would like to see more like 3 quarts capacity.

fill it with water and figure out the actual capacity.

I had one of those on my bsa for a while, but it seemed way to small. It only held about a quart when full. I had trouble with oil pumping out of the breather I put on top. So I bought another and added a piece of big rig exhaust tubing in the middle, It now holds three quarts. also added a filler tube and bsa breather on top.

Hey Zach, that is a cool idea, but I don't think it is enough oil. I agree, 3 quarts would be the minimum. Could you run one on either side and bridge them together?

Cut the bottom off of one and weld it to the top of the other if it's not going to be too tall.

If you plan on riding in the heat of the summer, you'll need 3 quarts, like others are telling you.
