Hi Group



What's opinions if a XS Monowheel with 914 and Airmaster Prop needs an oil catch can?



If the answer is yes, any pictures by chance or description of details? 

Thx. Ron P.

Ron,



Not sure what you mean by an “oil catch can.”



But I doubt a 914 sure needs one.  Mine doesn’t.

Hi Bob



I'm installing my oil tank. Here's what the manual says about venting the tank:

The vent from the oil tank allows an oil mist to escape to atmosphere. It is not unusual to run the vent line to the bottom of the cowling, however if you do this, don’t position the end of the tube such that i twill be in the airstream whilst flying. This could cause low pressure at the end of the tube to suck more oil from the tank than it should.Another consideration is that the oil mist will tend to coat the fuselage if left to vent freely. To avoid this you can run the vent line into a collector bottle before it goes to atmosphere;  however, no bottle is provided.



Europa is calling it a collector bottle.

Here's what I used.  A little over 10 bucks on Ebay.

Hi! All,

I let the vent pipe 1/8th diameter exit into the aft of the lower cowl which never caused a problem on the 914 of G-PTAG as it only amounted to not much more than an occasional drop. I guess that fixing a mini pill bottle filled with wire wool may have collected the oil better but even that would be overkill !

Regards 

Bob Harrison .

If you’re losing enough oil to catch your probably overfilling the tank. When the tank is overfilled it will just blow out the excess.
