How Accusump Works

How The Accumulator Works The Accumulator is tapped to the pressure side of the engine’s oiling system. When the engine is running, oil pressure forces oil into the accumulator and compresses air ahead of it. Figure 1: Under normal conditions, oil pressure keeps a reserve of oil in the Accumulator under constant pressure. If oil pressure should suddenly drop because of hard acceleration, severe cornering or hard braking, air pressure immediately sends oil back into the engine. When the danger is over and the pump is once again supplied with oil, pressure in the engine forces oil back into the Accumulator where it is ready for the next emergency. Figure 2: When oil pressure drops, air pressure sends the stored oil into the engine at the main oil galleries to prevent damage.

Canton racing products

Canton Racing Products has been building oil pans and engine related products for racing and high performance applications since 1981. We began in a small Connecticut garage building specialty oil pans for local auto racers. The unique oil pans provided racers with the power and quality they demanded. As popularity for the specialty oil pans grew so did our selection of products. Today we offer a wide range of high performance products for racing and the street.

Attentive Sales Professionals
During our business hours every phone call is directed straight to our hard working sales team. They are happy to use their experience and knowledge in the automotive market to provide customer service, product advice, and technical support to you and your customer.

Quality Manufacturing in the USA
Our production process focuses on accuracy and reliability. Every product we make is built with the same production and quality assurance methods that we use when building parts for Ford, Roush, and Mopar.

All products are tig welded, rather then mig welded. The tig welding process takes more time and skill but ensures more even heat and penetration through out the welding process. This result is better quality welds with less possibility for leaks and cracks.

Every oil pan, valve cover, and tank that we produce under goes several leak tests.

Our oil pans and valve covers are fitted on blocks or heads several times through out the production process to ensure they easily install on their application.

Involvement in the Racing Community.
We have been actively involved in racing for decades. Over the years we have built and ran several cars and have an appreciation for the effort and dedication it takes compete.

We actively participate with clubs, schools, and other organizations in the performance automotive community. To learn about some of our partnerships see our “Trackside” link on our home page.
