Oil Tank 2.3 Gallon Single Scavenge Black

The Oil Tank 2.3 Gallon Single Scavenge Black from Peterson Fluid is purpose-built for high-performance engine builders and serious automotive enthusiasts who demand precision oil management in modified powerplants. Whether you're running a street-strip big-block, a turbocharged daily driver, or a dedicated race engine, a dedicated scavenge tank eliminates the guesswork of oil return and separation. This tank addresses a critical gap in modified engine builds where stock lubrication systems fall short under sustained boost, high RPM, or aggressive cornering—conditions that overwhelm conventional sumps and cause oil starvation or backpressure issues.

At 2.3 gallons, this black steel scavenge tank provides adequate reservoir volume for secondary oil return circulation without adding excessive weight or footprint to your engine bay. The single-scavenge design means it's optimized for one oil return line from your engine, allowing you to segregate return flow and improve gravity-assisted separation before oil cycles back to the pan or main tank. The robust black powder-coated finish resists oxidation and maintains a professional appearance in visibility-critical installations. Measuring 12 x 24 x 12 inches and weighing just 7.2 lbs when empty, this tank mounts flexibly in tight spaces—a crucial advantage in modern engine compartments where real estate is at a premium.

Builders of LS-based engines, blown big-blocks, and heavily modified inline mills benefit most from this Peterson tank, particularly those running aggressive valve timing, variable displacement, or turbocharged configurations where oil sump capacity or return-line pressure become limiting factors. Installation pairs seamlessly with remote dry-sump systems, external filter housings, or supplemental cooling loops—essentially any platform where isolating scavenged oil improves overall engine reliability. Proper plumbing includes a low-pressure return line from the engine to the tank's inlet and a secondary pump or gravity-feed line back to the pan, making it compatible with both street and race engine platforms where durability and consistent oil pressure are non-negotiable.
