    Needing help on which route to take. Currently setup with two systems on one truck wanting to go to one system for both applications. Systems are listed below.

    System #1 side mount pto directly to 3 blackmer pump(pumping light and heavy oils)gas,ethanol,diesel,motor oil,hyd oil,trans oil.

    System #2 bottom mount pto with complete wet system(50 gal tank,etc,etc).

    Can a hydrapac do both applications? Do I need a cooler along with the 50 gal tank?
    My main goals are to save weight and simplify 2 systems to one.

    No one locally can comprehend what I want too do!

    If doing dump, you do not need a hydropak, 50 gals if enough to keep the hydraulic fluid cool.
    Where do you live?
    It can be done I think, but you'll need a special pump instead of a standard hydraulic dump pump. I just don't know the exact way to set it up. If you're anywhere near Louisville, there's a great shop about 12 miles north in sellersburg in.

    Yes ... one can do both. But it takes engineering, and a couple of well placed valves....

    These guys did mine.....too notch work. And I’m very picky . I have kind what you have 2 systems. But we were discussing one and I opted for the 2

    Don’t know if they will do the engineering if you don’t buy anything tho

    Yes..... I have 2 systems. One with a hydro pack and product pump and lines for a trailer mounted pump. The other a regular 2 line dump set up...

    But they can do it with one with a hydro pack. And a few valves.

    Just for clarification I'm wanting to eliminate the 50 gal tank being it has the most weight.

    If you want to do dump, you need to be able to fill the cylinder to raise the dump. Most Hydropaks only hold 2.5-5.5 gallons. That's not nearly enough the push a cylinder up. If you're looking to lose weight, have your fuel tank split. That'll save you roughly 450-500#'s
