check your local ATV shop. Most of the 2 stroke ATV's have oil tanks on them. you might also look for an oil tank off a jet-ski or motorcycle.

I know there was a website that mentioned an adaptor for this. Does anyone have a link?

Sorry, I can't help on the tank, but checking the ATV shop sounds good.

OMP adapter

Attached you will find how I installed the OPM adapter and used the former sub sero start fluid reservoir to hold the oil.

I discovered the oil will siphon out of the tank while the car is not being used. To prevent this I installed a vacuum operated valve between the tank and the OMP adapter. This valve is nothing more that a Chevrolet purge valve. I do not remember the year or model of vehicle, but it seems to me that it was a fairly recent pick up valve.

I used an oil level sensor out of an unused oil pan to make a sensor for the two stroke oil tank. I simply wired it into the existing oil level sensor circuit.

I cut a hole in the outboard end of the tank for the sensor. I then made a plate of aluminum to sandwich the tank between two pieces of metal. The hose attaches to a double male hose barb. This barb simply presses in where the original pump was.

This is a little hard to fill, but the convenience of not having to make a new tank outweighed the drawbacks. I may eventually make a larger tank to take its place. I can manage a couple of tanks of gas before the beeper starts goin off. The tank in made in sucah a way that there is no way to get the sensor on the bottom of the tank. It sounds off when the tank is enptied halfway. A bit annoying and that is the reason for wanting to bulid a larger tank. It is a very good installation though, and except for the sensor going off too soon is working well.

I have several more detailed photos. If anyone is interested just e-mail me at copandengr@yahoo.com and I will forward them to you.

Really? Thanks for the information. I intend to do it and that type of knowledge is good to know beforehand, of course.

The site for the adaptor is: http://www.rotaryaviation.com/oil_in...p_adaptors.htm
