After thinking about a criticism of the modification of the Renesis oil pan to a wedge shape,  I have changed the sump to better trap oil at the pick up in extreme climbs and dives.  Oil would drain from the original tank into the wedge sump through a few openings drilled through the bottom of the original tank.  The largest hole would be for the pick up tube which would terminate 1/2 inch above the wedge apex.  Again, the purpose of this is to add capacity to the stock sump and have it shaped to not interfere with the rad intake plenum.   A major consideration is to conserve space under the engine so that the rad will fit inside most stock cowls.   Jerry
