Just started my 912ULS for the first time after following the procedure for priming the oil system. I am getting oil pressure after start when it rises to 30 - 35 psi but then it falls to about 12psi and stays there. Anyone got any suggestions to get the oil pressure normal???

Just finished mod 72 and I had to prim mine two or three times using the compressed air method. It's fine now.

I'm thinking maybe either the sender is indicating low or the instrument is reading low.
On initial start I get upwards of 65-70 psi before it settles to around 45 psi once it gets warm.
Just my 2c worth.

Hi David,
Have you checked the pressure drop at the intake side of the oil pump (ie from the oil cooler)? Should be a maximum pressure drop of 4.4 psi from ambient pressure at full power. This checks for any restrictions to flow in the oil lines and cooler. See Europa engine installation manual, engine commissioning.
Regards,
Keith Hickling,
New Zealand.

Dave,
After several oil purging episodes I decided to change the UMA 1 1/4" Oil prssure gauge and sender back to the supplied VDO gauge and sender.
The engine which starts immediately! was giving a steady 4 bar 60psi. problem solved.
Will send UMA gauge back to UMA for them to look at.
Thanks all,
Dave G-LDVO
