I just became aware of Dana's new (don't know how new)
line of electric oil pumps.
They use a standard, 12V power supply, and can have
either brushed or microprocessor-controlled brushless
motors.
Benefits:
- Engine can be pre-primed prior to firing
- Pump can run after engine shut-off (turbo bearings)
- Can even automate oil changes

Would be nice to hear from someone who has used this
type of approach, or knows someone who has.
Thanks.
