    Sweet "pressurized" p/s tank

    Why or when would you need a "pressurized" power steering tank? Got one on a new car that is made by Sweet, has a scrader valve, over flow tube, and a radiator cap. Does one need to add pressure to the tank prior to starting the engine the first time? If so, how much?

      You do not have to pressurize it before starting but do before racing. The "head" pressure on the system keeps the fluid from foaming. I would also check it every week.

      Been done on aircraft hydraulic systems for over 30 years.
