Bulk oil system

[Ryan Wright]

Hey Gary,

This is my '86 PT-40. Not sure if yours would be setup similarly or
not, but the blue gauge on the right is the bulk oil fill gauge. This
tells you how much oil you've dispensed. The on/off switch is right
there immediately by the gauge, upper left side of it. That energizes
a solenoid to send air pressure into the tank. No air pressure = no
bulk oil filling.

As others said this is, indeed, a very nice option. It ensures I have
plenty of oil on board for just about any situation I might encounter,
which is nice since the right type of oil for my 8V92, Delo 100 40wt,
is difficult to find and I have to special order by the case. If I'm
in the middle of nowhere and need oil, I have it. I actually do my oil
changes right out of this tank, then fill the tank back up with fresh
oil. This keeps the oil in the tank from getting too old and it's
easier to add oil with that handy little dispensing wand vs. right out
of the 1 gallon jugs.
