[Mercedes] OT Pre-oiler?

[Curley McLain]

Looks like this would be a good product for everyone with a turbo, 
unless they are diligent about cool down before shut down.

Looks like the kit is just an electric fuel pump and a canister.

Seems to me you could put a fitting on/near the bottom of the oil pan, 
run a hose from it to a fuel pump, then from the pump to the oil galley 
of the engine.   use a one minute timer for a switch.  To start, hit the 
timer, wait 45 - 59 seconds, then start.

Not sure the canister is needed for what Fred wants to accomplish.   No 
idea where the oil galley might be on water cooled flat.
