I think the separator is better than an oily bottom skin.
Mine is very effective at removing mist from the breather line that collects
in a bottle. I discard the fluid that appears as it often has moisture
trapped.

Hi, the statement quoted below seems to come from a position that I might
have suggested deletion of the strain relief/vibration loop in the oil line
or other application.
I did not make that assertion.
My assertion is that there are more reasons than only strain relief or
vibration tolerance to
To KRnet Attn: John Gotschall
On the rigid installations, that you described, with no vibration,
whatsoever, Consider that all metals expand and contract, via
temperature changes. Engine oiling systems have a rather large
temperature change. You will never see the expansion and contraction
On many pressure sensing systems I have observed (similar your oil pressure
gauge) installations where there are several bends along the copper tube
which are plenty enough to take up thermal or vibration or pressure
stresses and the entire system mounted on a solid welded machine frame

I enjoy the KR Group because it seems like there are several of you out

general. A true resource. Thanks.
As to why I don't run copper tubing, it is because it seems much more
likely to fail from vibration and fatigue. Plastic i
You lose your oil pressure indication, and you pump your oil overboard through
the capillary tube. Generally speaking, mechanical oil pressure gauges using a
hose or tube to the transducer or gauge should have a restricting orifice in
the fitting at the port on the engine. Typically the restric

Looks like you are dumping the oil cooler out flow into the engine

The VW cases used for aircraft are usually the dual relief cases. The
foreword relief plug is the thermal relief, it has the longer spring, and
channels the oil either to the oil cooler or back into the main oil galley
based on the oil viscosity. The rear relief plug, has the shorter spring,
