[QUOTE="Yz426King, post: 696716, member: 24563"] Lets make sure that we are all on the same page as far as tank construction and plumbing is concerned. Jer, feel free to correct me if I am wrong. The fork caps are tapped to accept a male-male fitting. A piece of SS braided hose with a female fitting is attached to the male-male fork cap fitting. The hose is then connected to the restrictive barrier valve. The other end of the valve(which is actually integral to the top of the tank) opens into the subtank. The tanks do not have a check valve type restrictive barrier; therefore, the air coming FROM the tanks back into the forks must pass through the same restrictions that the air coming form the forks into the tanks does. (the barrier restricts both ways) Another thing: When the shocks are in use some of the oil will accumulate in the sub tanks, correct? Does this affect the way that the tanks will work, or will feel?(not practically, but in theory) Or, since the oil is still contained in the system, does the system still remain the same? I would think that the smaller the tanks become(because of oil ingestion) the LESS effective the would become because of their decreased volume of air past the restrictive barrier. Well, thats all for now, but I'll be back for more... [/QUOTE]
