Dry Sump Tank 2 Gallon -12an Fittings

The Peterson Fluid Dry Sump Tank 2 Gallon with -12AN Fittings (Part No. 08-0025) is a purpose-built oil management system designed for high-performance engines requiring dedicated dry sump circulation. This aluminum tank consolidates oil storage and separation in a compact 2-gallon (8 quart) capacity, ideal for race engines, marine applications, and custom powerplants where reliable oil delivery under extreme conditions is non-negotiable.

Specification-driven engineering is evident in every detail. The tank features three -12 AN male ports—inlet, outlet, and breather—allowing integrators to tailor line routing and filtration strategy to their specific oiling architecture. The 19.5-inch height and 6-inch outside diameter fit within most engine bay constraints without sacrificing internal volume, while the natural aluminum construction resists corrosion in marine and outdoor environments. The sealed design prevents aeration and windage losses that plague traditional sumps, critical for sustained power output during sustained high-rpm operation.

This tank serves engine builders, marine technicians, and motorsports fabricators who demand precision oil management. Whether supporting a racing engine, fresh-water or salt-water marine installation, or custom off-road platform, the dry sump configuration decouples cooling capacity from tank size, allowing the engine to run cooler and maintain consistent pressure across varying G-forces and operating angles. The -12AN fitting standard ensures compatibility with premium hose and adapter ecosystems used in professional racing and powersports platforms.

Dry sump systems extract oil directly from the crankcase pan via scavenging lines, returning filtered and cooled oil through the tank's inlet port. This architecture eliminates oil starvation during cornering, braking, and acceleration—scenarios where conventional sump oil sloshes away from the pickup tube. Peterson Fluid tanks are engineered for integration with external scavenge pumps and coolers, making this 2-gallon unit the control point in advanced oiling systems used across drag racing, road racing, and high-displacement marine platforms.
