My Accusump has a 7 PSI pre charge. I ran a # 10AN line from the Accusump to a # 10 T. This will connect to the line coming from your oil cooler line that is going to your motor. I installed the check value on the up wind of the T, meaning closest to the oil cooler. This will prevent any oil coming from your Accusump going to your cooler. Your Accusump should be plumbed for 1/2 pipe. My direction told me to install the sump and before I put oil in it to charge it with 50 PSI and let it set overnight. You want to find any leaks before you put oil in it. Bleed the pressure off and then put a 7 PSI precharge on it. Fill your engine with oil and then start. I also fill my filters witjh oil so there is no void waiting for the filters to fill. Depending on the size of your Accusump you will need to start adding oil. The Accusump is not an instant fill container it will fill slowly. They also tell you to have your Accusump mounted VALVE end lower than air gage end, this way any foaming goes to the high end. If you need photos I can send you some.
