Moroso 15in Tall 7in Dia 6qt Dry Sump Tank

This Moroso dry sump tank is constructed from aluminum, measuring 15 inches tall with a 7-inch diameter and a 6-quart capacity. It's designed to be a core component in a dry sump oiling system, which is crucial for high-performance engines that experience extreme G-forces. In these conditions, a standard wet sump system can starve the oil pump of oil, leading to catastrophic engine failure. A dry sump system uses an external tank like this one to ensure a constant, positive supply of oil to the pump, even during aggressive cornering, hard acceleration, or heavy braking.

The aluminum construction offers a good balance of strength and light weight, important considerations in performance applications where every pound counts. Its 6-quart capacity is suitable for many custom engine builds, providing ample oil volume to keep the system functioning smoothly. The tank features multiple ports for connecting the scavenge lines from the oil pump and the pressure line to the engine's oil system, along with a breather port. Proper installation and plumbing are key to the effectiveness of any dry sump system, ensuring oil is efficiently returned to the tank and then fed to the engine.

When setting up a dry sump system, it's important to consider the overall layout and plumbing. This tank is designed to integrate into a system where an external oil pump is used to scavenge oil from the oil pan and return it to this tank. From here, a separate pressure stage of the pump draws oil and sends it to the engine. Ensure you have all necessary fittings and lines for your specific application, as they are not typically included with the tank itself. Refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for detailed recommendations on plumbing and setup to achieve optimal performance and reliability.
