Dry Sump Tank 2.5 Gal

The Peterson Fluid Dry Sump Tank 2.5 Gal is an essential component for high-performance racing engines requiring consistent lubrication under extreme lateral forces. Designed for professional motorsport applications, this tank provides a reliable reservoir of oil that remains undisturbed by the sloshing and aeration common in traditional wet sump systems. By moving the oil storage away from the crankshaft, you can significantly reduce windage and increase horsepower in competition vehicles. This 10-quart capacity unit ensures that high-volume oil pumps always have a steady supply of de-aerated fluid during long-duration corners or heavy braking.

Constructed from high-grade aluminum with a natural finish, this 24-inch tall tank features a slim 6-inch outside diameter to fit within tight engine bays or interior mounting locations. The internal baffling is engineered to separate air from the oil efficiently, which is critical for maintaining consistent oil pressure and optimal cooling properties. It utilizes -12 AN female O-ring ports for both the inlets and outlets, providing a secure, leak-proof seal under high-pressure conditions. The inclusion of a dedicated -12 AN O-Ring breather port allows for effective crankcase ventilation and pressure regulation within the lubrication circuit.

Engineers and racers looking to buy a professional-grade oil management solution will find the Peterson Fluid Dry Sump Tank 2.5 Gal compatible with most standard dry sump pumps and plumbing kits. Its height-to-width ratio is optimized for vertical mounting, which utilizes gravity to assist in oil scavenging and supply. This specific model is frequently chosen for road racing, drag racing, and off-road builds where oil starvation is a primary concern. Proper installation ensures your engine components receive clean, cooled oil regardless of the G-forces encountered on the track.
