Default RE: Saito 82 vent line


ORIGINAL: horace315

i saw on a thread here a fella had a metal u control tank set up on the firewall to catch the oil from the vent line if you have the room that would be an idea. he said he empty it after about every three flights it has two lines going into it so a suction bottle or even the fuel pump could empty it.was on a thread a guy is building a c130 gunship.
Yea, I saw something like that too. It was on a RCV engine on a Corsair I think. I just finished running the vent line like I descibed above. Pretty easy, just hope it works. Was just wondering if the vent line length will create too much back pressure or something like that. I wouldn't think that it would, but was hoping maybe somebody had tried this before me. I hate trial by fire.[X(]
