What are the rest of you doing with your engine vent
line?
I used to just vent it out of the cowl, but
there were a couple of occasions in the rev-1 days where I completely covered
the belly, with oil. I think those were mostly due to having the vent line
in a suction area of airflow though. I ended up installing a fairly
large (about 1/2" ID) clear tube with a quick drain valve on
the end. That keeps the airflow from causing suction, and lets
me monitor how much oil accumulates in the tube. The tube is only
about 15 inches long, so it doesn't go all the way back to the engine.
Instead, I ran a smaller hose to the engine. That hose slips inside the
larger one, with enough space between the hoses to allow air to
vent. Since I've done this, I've never drained the line, because
there isn't anything in it.
