How often do you have to empty the poly
bottle.

| [LML] Oil Separator |
|
Brad, I've installed one of Spruce's separators for
experimental aircraft on
my LNC2 6 or 7 years ago and it works just fine. I plumbed the outlet
into
a small poly bottle (approx. 1 pint or so) attached beneath the separator
as
I did not want the ugly goo that collects in there returned to my engine.
To
enhance it's ability to condense the oil vapors internally, I blew a small
amount of cool air on the body of the unit - not sure if that was needed
but
I think it did.
I'm running a small Lycoming but the separator will probably work on just
about any engine. It's about 4 inches in diameter, slightly less than that
high and attaches to the firewall (or as desired) via attach points on
the
base-plate.
Cleaning the bottom of my Lancair got to be a whole lot less work
afterwards -
Regards,
Dan Schafer
