Don't think I would put a fuse in that circuit but......think about 
it.....volume only needs to be enough to lubricate at max RPM....any more just 
carries heat off the bearings...hmmmmm...wonder how much 12v dc (or 24v) power 
req'd.

engine or for that matter a dry
sump with an external scavenge and supply pump the horsepower to drive it
should go up with rpm. Has to bypass more also, I would think. An electric
drive coupd be set up to provide the amount of oil needed at peak rpm and no
more. But blow a fuse and zowie. COurse you could have one of those shut
down switches hooked to the oil pressure?
Keep talkin, you experts, I'm learning here!
