Rich,
I reccomend that you capture the oil fog using a separator and return it to the sump. I is surprising the amount of oil you can dump overboard if you don't recapture it!

I have a one inch vent has an oil/ air separator. Positive pressure with the super charger. My turbo engine will likely have more vent area.

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,

 

Rich
