 |
|
All,
I was going to use the same crankcase breather oil separator that I have on the 8A http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/hboilbreather.php
but then I noted the IO-540 has a huge crankcase breather fitting for a 1” inside diameter hose. The above separator uses 5/8” hose.
This separator works well on the IO-360 in the 8A. Is anyone using this on a IO-540? Does the IO-540 really need a 1” breather hose?
Carl

Mine really does not leak without a separator. My overflow tube is right above the exhaust pipe.
Also, there are debates regarding putting the oil byproducts in the breather back into the engine.
Do not archive.

This company’s product came recommended on the Lycoming list and is discussed on VAF: http://antisplataero.com/
I have an email into them on price for the IO-540 version.
One point to clarify; as I did on the 8A the oil from the separator will be collected in a small can (~6oz), not returned to the engine. On the 8A, I empty the can every oil change and never had more than a couple of ounces in it – but a couple of ounces less on the belly.

Yes, the debates with no data. Everything that comes out the breather started in the engine and will be in just as high concentration there. Folks get confused, thinking the separator somehow concentrates contaminates, or condenses water vapor.

I don't get any noceable oil out the breather, either. I run about 8 qts as indicated on the dipstick.

I just have the standard breather that exits over the exhaust pipe. I add a quart when it gets to 8. I clean the belly two or three times a year, which takes about 15 minutes.
I get a drip on the floor if it doesn't fly for a couple weeks--never any more than that.

I was consistently getting 2-3 drops of oil on the hanger floor where it ran down from the breather tube to the exhaust pipe. I installed Van's breather (slime fighter I think) and it has stopped it completely.
