Default Accusumps

This is going to sound like a stupid question.....
How does the oil get back into the accusump container after the run?

I checked the canton website but parts of it are down.

Ok....

So if i pressurize the acusump to 60psi it(accusump) will pressurize the motor to 60 psi, when the motor surpasses 60 psi it will then "refill" the accusump because of the excess pressure?

That makes sense if i understand correctly.

yup...just would have to close the line to the accusump before turning the motor off...it will only refill back to idle pressure (if you close valve at at idle)

it will only be idle pressure but if it dumps 3qts of oil into the motor it will get all 3 in return correct?

there should be a transfer piston type mechanism. if push enough to get the air chamber back to the original set pressure, it should return all the oil. The nice thing is it should only use the oil in the accusump when it needs it (low oil pressure) like startup or if the main oiling system can't keep up for what ever reason during a pass.
