Peterson Fluid Systems

When an engine is pushed hard on track, lubrication becomes critical. Peterson Fluid Systems makes dry sump and fluid handling components for racing and performance engines, so oil gets where it needs to go, even under heavy g-forces. Here you’ll find dry sump pumps, oil tanks, filters and accessories for serious engine builds.

American specialists in motorsport lubrication

Peterson Fluid Systems is an American brand specialising in systems for oil and other fluids in motorsport engines. The brand is best known for dry sump systems, where the oil is stored in a separate tank instead of a traditional oil pan. That keeps oil pressure stable in hard corners and under heavy acceleration and braking, and allows the engine to sit lower in the car. Peterson parts are used across many types of motorsport, from circuit racing and drag racing to rally and special builds.

Peterson Fluid Systems’ key products

Multi-stage dry sump pumps are the core of the range: one or more scavenge stages pull oil out of the engine, and a pressure stage sends it back for lubrication. Oil tanks come in many sizes and designs to fit different cars and engine bays. Peterson also offers racing oil filters and screens, breather tanks and ventilation solutions, vacuum pumps, and accessories such as belt drives and fittings to build a complete system. See each product for dimensions, connections and application.

Frequently asked questions

What is the benefit of a dry sump system?

A dry sump system keeps the oil supply stable even when oil would otherwise slosh away from the pickup in hard corners or under heavy braking. The engine can also sit lower, and the pump’s scavenge stages can reduce crankcase pressure.

Can I buy individual parts for my existing system?

Yes, the Peterson range consists of separate components such as pumps, tanks, filters and fittings, so you can upgrade or extend an existing system. Feel free to contact us if you are unsure about dimensions or connections.
