Checked screens this morning, they are clear. I did note that with someone watching the tank when it starts to drop if I raise it to 2k rpm it fills back up. I wonder if I just need to run a smaller pulley on the pump.

Something else I noted, I left it all weekend and I've been noticing the tank slow drains when it's sitting, well over the weekend it totally drained and on start up took a moment longer then I was comfortable with to build oil pressure.

After a chat with Aviaid last night they are going to send me a smaller pulley for the pump and see if that takes care of it. If that doesn't I will send the pump back. At the same time I'm going to put the 3 gallon tank in. I should have the pulley here tomorrow. I also found a company to make me a low oil level float that I can put in the tank to toss a warning when the tank starts to drop.
