Matt,
:-) I sort of agree with your nomenclature argument. And sort of don't.
Granted, a hydraulic accumulator stores pressurized liquid. But then a
computer's accumulator is a place to store bits temporarily, not
necessarily pressurized. And an electrical capacitor is sometimes called
an accumulator since it stores electrons -- though it does require
"pressure" to keep 'em in there. With all those definitions, I kind of
figure using the term for the place I keep my about-to-be used gasoline
(which IS under pressure, by the way) is better than calling it a "surge
tank". I ain't about to waste all them letters & confuse everybody but you
by calling it a "self-leveling day tank". :-)
Sorry, just suffer along with me. Kosier don't even like my spelling
sometimes. :-)
Oh yeah, the tank vent line goes, hard line all the way, through a skid
guard beneath the #5 cross member, to the Aux tank drain.
