I did manage to spend some time on building the hydraulic tank, it is 2" x 5" x 14" long and if filled to the top would hold about 2200cc, hoping to have just under 2000cc in the tank when in use.
Still need to make a few changes to the intank strainer but this will the general idea
(#60 stainless steel mesh , really wanted to use #100 but couldn't get any)
I welded a baffle plate inside the tank, the idea is to help push air bubbles up and away from the suction side, not sure if it will be of any help in such a small tank but thoght I would try it anyway....
