Canton Accusump 3 Qt High Pressure No Valve - 24-016

Canton Racing 24-016 Accusump 3 Quart High Pressure Oil Accumulator (No Valve)

Protect your high-performance engine from oil starvation and dry start damage with Canton Racing's legendary 3-quart High Pressure Accusump. For over 30 years, the Accusump has been the gold standard in oil accumulators, providing critical pre-oiling before startup and surge protection during extreme racing conditions. The 24-016 is specifically designed for big cubic inch engines, high oil pressure applications, and severe racing use.

The Problem: Oil Starvation Kills Engines

Even the best oiling system can't prevent two critical scenarios that cause catastrophic engine damage:

1. Dry Starts: Every cold start begins with zero oil pressure. Bearings spin metal-on-metal until the oil pump builds pressure—causing cumulative wear that shortens engine life.
2. Oil Pressure Surges: Hard acceleration, high-G cornering, braking, and rough terrain cause oil to slosh away from the pickup. Even momentary oil starvation can damage bearings, especially in racing conditions.

The Solution: Canton Accusump Technology

The Accusump is a pressurized oil reservoir that stores oil under pressure and automatically delivers it when your engine needs it most. Think of it as an insurance policy for your expensive engine build.

How It Works:

1. During Normal Operation: The Accusump charges with pressurized engine oil, storing it under air pressure (similar to how a shock absorber works, but with oil instead of hydraulic fluid)
2. At Startup (Pre-Oiling): Before you even crank the engine, the Accusump has oil stored under pressure, ready to deliver instant lubrication to critical bearings
3. During Oil Pressure Drop: When the oil pump can't maintain pressure (hard cornering, acceleration, off-road use), the Accusump automatically discharges stored oil to maintain lubrication
4. Recharge: Once oil pressure recovers, the Accusump automatically recharges for the next event

High Pressure Design - Built for Serious Applications

The 24-016 High Pressure model is engineered for engines that operate at elevated oil pressures (60+ PSI) and for severe racing conditions. The longer 22-inch length allows it to hold more air and oil compared to standard models, providing:

• Extended pre-oiling duration
• Greater surge protection capacity
• Effective operation in a narrower oil pressure range
• More reserve oil for demanding conditions

This makes it ideal for big-block V8s, built small-blocks, high-performance diesel engines, and any application where engine oil pressure runs higher than stock.

Precision-Built Canton Quality

Every Canton Accusump is precision-manufactured from heavy-wall, roller-burnished aluminum tubing with a Teflon hard-coated interior. The internal piston separates the oil chamber from the air pressure chamber, allowing the unit to be mounted in any position. Billet aluminum screw-in end caps ensure serviceability and long-term reliability.

Blue Anodized Finish

The distinctive blue anodized finish provides corrosion protection while delivering the professional appearance expected in high-end engine bays. It's a Canton trademark that racers recognize instantly.

No Valve Included - Choose Your Control Method

The 24-016 ships without a control valve, giving you the flexibility to choose the valve system that best suits your application:

• Manual Ball Valve (24-260): Simple, reliable, driver-controlled
• Manual Cable Kit (24-506): Remote cable-actuated control
• Electric Valve Kits: Fully automatic electric control with pressure switches

This allows you to customize the system for street, strip, track, or off-road use.

Applications:

Perfect For:

• Big-block Chevy, Ford, Mopar builds
• Built small-block V8 engines
• High-performance diesel trucks
• Road racing and road course cars
• Drag racing and Pro Street builds
• Off-road racing (desert, rock crawling, Baja)
• Marine racing applications
• Any engine operating at high oil pressure

Universal Fitment - Any Engine, Any Vehicle

The Accusump is a universal component that works with any engine oiling system. Common applications include classic muscle cars, modern performance vehicles, race cars, off-road trucks, diesel performance builds, and marine engines.

Made in USA - Racing Proven Since 1981

Canton Racing Products has been manufacturing premium oiling components in Connecticut since 1981. Born on the racetrack and proven in the most demanding motorsports competitions worldwide, Canton products deliver the performance and reliability that serious racers demand.

Protect Your Engine Investment

High-performance engine builds cost thousands—sometimes tens of thousands—of dollars. The Canton Accusump is inexpensive insurance that can prevent catastrophic bearing damage and extend engine life significantly. One oil starvation event can destroy a motor. Don't let it happen to yours.
