[QUOTE="fast*st, post: 734303, member: 13064"] I've been thinking of a similar issue, I'm upgrading to a 28gpm pump from 10gpm. The tank does a few things, I have about 10 gallons of storage right now. So a tank acts as a heat sink and bubble removal. I'm working on changing lines and fittings to keep the heat as low as possible. I could easily add an oil cooler of sorts, but air bubble removal, I'm wondering if a fine mesh screen would help to even out the flow and if put at a shallow angle to the flow, would it help coax the bubbles to the top of the fluid. It seems that a screen would help to reduce the turbulent currents in the oil tank. I definately want a diffuser on the return line, I'd hate to have a fast moving jet of oil just churning up the tank. still brainstorming -Jason [/QUOTE]
