MG TD TF 1500 - Lubricating a Volumex

Hello

Has anyone experience with lubricating a Volumex supercharger?
I am in the process of installing a Volumex frontmounted on my prewar MG TA – QA and I don't know how to lubricate it.

Thanks in advance.

Which unit is it? some just have a pot and some use engine oil via a pump internal.

is it a small Lancia version? if so just a pot of oil mounted on the side.

Hello MOG,
I think it came from a Lancia of Fiat, and it had a pot with hoses.
see pic.
So you just mount a reservoir at the side and it pumps the oil around?

Hi yes, the above is a great resource website, it was posted to the MMM site. A few of the vintage parts people sell nice oilers.

Thank you MOG

This is very helpful

I do understand, that you connect a hose on top and one on the bottom, and with a reservoir in between it pumps oil around and lubricates itself??
