Oil question...

[acarlson]

I have a 1965 Corsa Turbo 180HP engine. I have what look like 2 oil pressure sensors mounted at the top of the oil filter adaptor.



Now, when i look at other '65 turbo's, those engines have something else in the same location.



And it's sending oil somewhere where my engine is not. What's up with that ???

What you have circled is a mechanical fuel pump, if it is missing on yours, it means you have an electric fuel pump most likely located under the car near the fuel tank. The extra oil pressure sensor would be for an electric fuel pump cut out. It’s a safety feature, if you lose oil pressure it‘s smart to stop the electric fuel pump. Both are good things to have.
