Default RE: Smoke pump idea

Neat idea on the carb pump. Put a tee in the pressure tap line?

I looked up flow rates on chain oilers. I found that one saw runs up to 18cc/min, about 0.6 ounces, at 10K rpm. That is with viscious bar oil. We run slower but the smoke oil is real thin so it should move more? I guess the real question is what is the flow rate of smoke fluid in a real smoke system?

I obvioulsy don't know anything about smokes systems but the guys at the club keep teasing me about it. They all fly little airplanes. It'd be a kick to lay out a smoke trail but I don't want to make a Manhatten project out of it.
