Homemade Tank Part 8 (Hydraulic Reservoir) 

You need a lot of fluid so it can stay cool when driving. You impress me, you seam to be very smart. I would love to be beside you helping. This was my life building stuff for 50 years. Loved it, your doing great, what are you studying in college?

This is going to be awesome. I'd pay you for a 1:6 scale German Tiger tank!

1. I don't know where the idea that the filter goes on the return hoses came from but, the filter MUST be between the tank and the pump to prevent any debris from damaging or locking the pump or the motors. 2. That engine needs LOTS of cold air to keep from burning up, it needs to be isolated from that tank to keep from burning up. You could run an alternator from the top pulley on the motor to charge a battery and run fans to bring in fresh air to both compartments, the engine, and the oil tank. 3. If you do the alternator system then you can add a real temperature gauge and have the indicator on a panel in front of the driver's seat; you could also add a circuit that would cut off the engine if the temperature on either the engine or hydraulic tank got to a particular threshold.

I think the 300% tank size is for extending cylinders situation. you are simply running it through a motor so volume isn't an issue.

have you thought about running the return oil through a cooler?

Yo take my advice and put a good strong magnet in your tank that will collect any metal filings that come out of the pump over time and fuck up your valves every hydraulic tank on a plow has a magnet in it

Buy a couple of ammo cans from a surplus store for something like that

does that thin tank for your hydraulic seam a little thin for the pressures you mentioned?

can you tell me parametres of the hydravlik sistem(pump,motors).i wood find analogs in russia,spesial russian thanks!

looks good

I can do a lot of tedious things but those tracks are where I would’ve popped

can you tell me parametres of hidravlik sistem(motors,pump)

where did you get the wheels or did you make them

interesting that all these ideas that a big tank was necessary just got changed, and a small tank was installed. And another pump. just like that?

Like the Judas Priest intro!

I know I' m late, but why didn't you use a small reservoir and a radiator?

this is pretty smart but unfortunately for real tanks they can't do this cause if the tank gets shot there it will completely break down

You got a text dude go check it before you get back to work because you will forget about it dude
