Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Am in the process of collecting the parts needed to instal an on board air setup in my cruiser already have tank, manifold with pressure gauge, switch and safety relief valve. Have a tank.

Am going to try to use the ac pump that's already on the cruiser as the refrigerant lines are stuffed anyway. To keep every thing running as ac has oil pumped through it naturally was going to run an oiler before the pump with an oil separator after.

An looking for a system which recycles the oil. So its pumped from the oiler through ac pump to the separator then back to the oiler which would lessen the chance of running out of oil.

Any ideas on how I can achieve this. Have tried searching ebay for an oil return feed but nothing I'd what I am after.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Also if anyone can find any helpful threads that use a factory converted ac pump a an onboard air pump I'd love a link as either there are no threads on this subject or my search skills suck.

fit a return line from the bottom of the oil separator to the crank case (for a York) or the inlet (for a Sanden) of the pump. In line with the return line fit a small manual valve so that when it's pumping you turn the valve momentarily to allow the pressure to pump the oil back.

Ok please let me clarify I am using the standard ac pump in my cruiser. No idea if its a sanden or not but its defiantly not a york.
