So you guys turning it on the off and then on again, just leave it on, it is not costing any horsepower. Canton sells a special solenoid that you can buy at a set psi if the pressure goes below that it opens it up, just make sure you have the check valve so the oil flows the correct direction into the oil journal. If you are using an accusump with out a check valve you are pumping the oil in the wrong direction into the oil filter.

That make the most sense to me. I am going to be using one this season, if I can arrange the space.....
