Is it possible to use the fuel line tank pressure from a 3 line system to pressurize an other tank for smoke oil? With a check valve in the connecting line Good or bad? thanks

Yes. This is what was done on may Ultimates in the past. Put a tee in between the check valve and the fuel tank. Now put another check vlave in on the way to the smoke tank. Change you tubing now. Add a tee and some fuel line between the smoke tank and the check valve to vent the smoke tank while filling.

Run the smoke line to the muffler through a good shut off valve. Works great lots of pressure. I recommend a needle valve somewhere to adjust the flow.

If you run the smoke tank out, you will depressure the whole fuel system. Thats why you need a good shut off valve to keep the whole system from depressuring.

Carl Golberg used to sell a whole kit to do this when Dave Patrick worked for them. I bought one once. I will see if I can find the installation diagram.

I think that putting a muffler pressure line to your smoke tank makes more sense. Mixing the smoke oil and pressure systems of the YS is probably not too good an idea.

Here is a schematic of the kit that Goldberg was selling

Here is a schematic of the kit that Goldberg was selling. I think the hopper tank was giving a pressure reserve for the smoke system.

I Just bought the GOldberg Smoke system you have shown and Im a bit confusd about the "hopper Tank" How does it help keep pressure?
