I just bought an Andair Oil Separator from ACS. According to a video clip
on Andair's site, these are being used by Cirrus and Cessna.
I haven't installed it yet because, despite the fact that ACS shows the
condenser trap on the pic, it must be ordered separately. That is ordered.
Seems that the current thinking is NOT to drain that crap back into the
engine (acidic and emulsified with water).

Subject: Engine air oil separator
All,
Again,another item I want to take care of; the oily belly on the plane.
Truth be told; I have fed the oil in too fast before the filler could burb
and sure enough oil was running down the cylinders and out the cowling.
Some mess. However the engine is still staining the bottom of the plane and
I believe I might need a separator.
I am wondering what models and how anyone has mounted them. They keep
mentioning a drain port back into the crank case as well. I don't recall
seeing a port that I can install a line into?
Thanks again
