What kind of reservoir does a hydraulic pump use?
The L-shaped reservoir configuration incorporates many of the same features as the overhead style. The L-shaped reservoir is a tall, narrow rectangular tank with the pump/motor assembly mounted beside the tank on a common base frame. This arrangement provides full access to the hydraulic pump and electric motor for service.
Where is the hydraulic pump located in a tank?
The electric motor is mounted above the tank cover and the hydraulic pump is mounted below the cover, inside the reservoir. This arrangement allows for the overall space requirements to be reduced. Also, the pump is protected and with the inlet line extended to within 1-1/2″ of the bottom, the suction lift requirements are kept to a minimum.
What to do if hydraulic oil starts leaking?
Check to see that oil intake is well below surface of oil in reservoir. Check pump packing and line connections on intake side by pouring hydraulic oil over suspected leak. If noise stops]
What should be considered when sizing a hydraulic reservoir?
When sizing a hydraulic reservoir, many factors must be considered. A well designed reservoir offers much more than just fluid storage. A poorly designed or sized reservoir can compromise an otherwise well designed hydraulic system. There are two basic methods for sizing an hydraulic reservoir.

What to do when oil comes out of hydraulic pump?
The proper solution is to daily tap off a small quantity of fluid from the bottom of the reservoir through the drain valve. Since water settles to the bottom, it will drain off before oil starts coming out.

Where is the shut off valve on a hydraulic tank?
A shut-off valve is normally mounted at the tank suction connection so the pump can be removed and replaced without draining the fluid from the tank.
