    7-8 gallons, not as much as I wanted, but it seems adequate, oil temp hasn't went high enough to even check it. (other than by feel)

    Now I did change out to a cylinder with larger ports, and all my hoses and fittings got upsized to 3/4", except the one 1/2" fitting coming out of the pump. Was done in the name of cycle time, and lower oil temps...

    Haven't had time to mess around with it plus it has been pretty hot out.
    I did get some parts together, valve, motor ,pump, overhung adapter, pulleys and bushings.
