[QUOTE="mga, post: 734628, member: 10757"] keep in mind that that "rule of thumb" was developed for hydraulic machinery for industrial use...say a mold press or a 300 ton stamping press where there are alot more moving hydraulic parts to heat up. for the log splitter, you can get away with a smaller tank. i built an 18 gallon tank and it works very well as far as keeping things cool. remember...you will have to fill that huge tank and unless you can get hydraulic fluid cheap, it's going to cost a nice penney.
