![]() ![]() The idea of my parts being mismatched could be the case since this is a frankensplitter. However, that may not solve the problem if it is mismatched parts like JK1979 is suggesting. I am waiting now for the larger filter before trying again. I have been splitting away but still blow a filter out after 1 day of use. I didn't do anything to the intake line, but will still check to see if the oil is milky in the tank. Sure it may have worked for a while, but as the packing and seals got worn it is now just creating blow by at your cylinder and pressurizing your return line. All it can take is one small pin hole at that pressure to hit you and it can blow a hole right through you. If you don't know your ratings and you are mis matching parts you are in a way playing with fire so to speak. More volume is lower heat extending the life of your valves, pump, and cylinder. Tank size will do nothing either, sure the bigger the tank is better, but that is for heat purposes. Most return lines are low pressure hoses and increasing the size does nothing for the pressure issue, that is creating more volume. Your return line should not be carrying that kind of pressure whatsoever. It works fine when the pump is in single stage probably at 2000psi, then the 2nd stage kicks in and gives you another 1000 or 1500psi and it is blowing right past the piston pressurizing your return line. ![]() I seriously would check your ratings on your cylinder, to me it sounds like you have a 2000 psi cylinder and a 3500 psi pump. Or I could reach out to the smart people on this forum who know a lot more about this than I do. I could fumble around and try to figure this out, buy more parts than i need and then ask someone for help. The cap on the reservoir blows off at the same time. I've received two hydraulic oil showers in the last few weeks. I can see the pressure building on the cylinder and then the filter peels like a frozen soda can and oil is being projected everywhere at 16 gpm. This is happening when splitting a large twisted piece. My guesses are that the filter simply isn't large enough to handle the flow the 16gpm pump gives, the control valve that restricts return line pressure is gone, or the reservoir tank is building pressure. So obviously I am getting a lot more than 15-30 psi on my return line. I blew a brand new one on its first use today. This issue is I am blowing filters on my return line. I am no hydraulics expert, I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to solve this problem. I put a new 18hp Honda on it this year and it has been working pretty good. It worked great the first year until the cheap snowblower motor died. ![]()
