i would not recommend to convert to premix.
your oil pump is a gear driven oil pump wich is connected to your crankshaft.
these gears get the lubrication directly from the oil pump.
(its not a VRO pump that pumps on crankcase pressures)
if you would take the oil away in the oilpump, the oilpump gears will selfdestruct and posibly damage your crank shaft.

stay with the oil tank to prevent engine damage.

good luck

You always remove the oil pump shaft when removing oil injection. You unbolt the pump and slide out the bushing and shaft and then push the bushing in and rebolt the pump so you want have a vacuum leak. You will then have to connect the wires from your tank sensor so your gauges read full and so you want go in limp mode.
