    Default Gravity08's oil pump mod - UPDATE - COMPLETED w/Pics

    I swung by Lowes today after lunch and picked up the few pieces I should need to add the oil bump to the Supra. Now I just have to wait on the pump to get here. This is the pump I ordered from www.NorthernTool.com . It has the same specs as the one he posted pics of, but it cost less. It's rated for 1GPM of pumping, that's a fast oil drain!!!

    Pump:

    Parts:


    My Lowes trip consisted of:
    2 pack of hose Clamps to fit a 3/8 hose
    2 - 3/8 ID Barb with 3/8 male threaded end
    1 3/8 Gas Ball valve (both ends are female 3/8 ID to accept the barb above)
    4 foot of Clear Braided PVC Tubing. (they had a book of info on tubing and it showed to be oil resistant)

    Total cost at Lowes: $16.71
    Pump Cost shipped: $48.85

    Total Cost: $65.56

    I'm hoping the 4 ft of hose is enough to allow the drain hose to reach an oil pan on the ski platform. If not, I've got some fuel line at home I can splice in. I can't wait to get this done. From what I understood, Gravity went with a 1/2 ball valve and used a fitting to taper down to the 3/8. I eliminated that need by finally finding a 3/8 ball valve.

    I'll update as I get it done. Pump should be here quickly, they ship out of Texas.
