I ran it to a small plastic bottle filled with brass wool to try and capture any oil droplets. In over 100 hours of operation, I have never seen any liquid accumulate.

I just tubed it over to the air filter box, but I've always been curious as to what others are doing with this as well, but just never bothered to ask.

I am finally finishing my renesis rebuild, with so much help from this list-- thanks

My question is with regard to the ventilation of the case. it seems that the rotary has a nipple off of the filler tube for this purpose... (I don't think that I have that tube currently and will probably make one)

Using this port, is it a good idea to just plumb it out of the back of the airplane as with a crank case vent?

Is the amount of oil/vapor created significant enough to collect it and recycle it?

What ch'all doing?

Thanks again,
