>>>Why would you need to tap into the "bleeder"? I would think just putting a "T" into the oil cooler return line would be an ideal place to plumb in an Accusump.<<<
It's not a need, it's just another option. There are many ways to hook these things up. They suggest doing it on the far side of an oil filter with an antidrainback valve. That way most of the oil goes into the motor and not potentially backwards through the oil filter and oil pump. I'm not sure where the various fittings are located along the oil path. I have seen accusumps plumbed into the line leading toward a remote oil filter. That is between the oil pump and the oil filter. In that instance when pressure drops, a good portion of the benefit of the accusump will be wasted as some of the oil goes in the wrong direction. Potentially there could be other issues too.
