I intend to use the Andair separator available from Lancair. But I think the thread ended a little too soon for me. What is the best way to dispose of the oil coming out of the separator? A) Return oil (and water) to engine? B) Route oil to a container to be drained at regular intervals, or C) route the oil down to the exhaust system. My preference would be option B. Does anyone have a nice container to mount on the firewall? and a good way to drain it without having to remove or open the cowling? I'm open to good ideas. I just want to end up with an installation that keeps the belly clean, and one that is easy to maintain.
