Default Angle of power steering reservoir

hey guys,

Maybe i'm just paranoid, but do you think the angle below on the power steering reservoir will effect the gravity feed operation of the pump?

It should not be at that angle and I never seen one like that. What is causing it to be angled?

I made a bracket. I can mod it to make the reservoir straight up, but the question is whether or not the angle will effect the gravity feed operation.

Thanks!

It will work as long as the feed is under the fluid all the time. If the fluid shifts/uncovers the feed line and allows the pump to suck air, than you'll have problems.

You could use a pump off of a van, alot of them have a remote tank and the pump is only on the engine
