John,
Not a bad idea on a 912S. All the Rotax's do spit a bit more oil when
the tank is full as on a cross country. My 914 doesn't spit much oil
unless it is full. A separator may do the trick. I saw someone with a
simple screw on can lid and brazed a couple tubes in it. The store
bought ones all have 5/8 and 3/4 inch tubes and cost a bundle.
I am familiar with the Jabiru separators and they work well but they
have a 5/8 nipple. Why not make a fiberglass can 2x2x4 with a 5/16
inlet and outlet out of the top, coat it well with fiberglass resin to
seal and bake it at 250F for a bit to heat cure it. Cheap and simple...
Bolt it on the firewall and let the outlet dangle out the bottom as
before.
Regards,
Bud

Subject: Europa-List: Oil tank breather separator
Dear Europaphiles,
I am doing some routine maintenance and note that as usual, I have
quite a lot of oily marks on the belly of my plane from the oil tank
breather hose from my 912S.
I am curious if any of you have installed an oil breather/separator
and if this has been successful, perhaps you may be able to make a
recommendation.
Cheers, John
