 |
|
On my Kitfox III there is a fitting at the bottom of the 912ul engine where the oil return line attaches at 90 degrees and returns oil to the oil tank. I need to losen this fitting about 3 to 5 degrees so that the return hose is not kinked. There appears to be a copper washer between the fitting and the engine and I am sure if I loosen the fitting a few degrees that it will leak. How can I do this without causing a leak?

Hi Pete,
You can loosen the bottom banjo nut just a little and rotate your hose without losing any oil and if you did lose a little it would be just a drop or two. I believe the torque on that banjo nut is 150 in/lbs.
