britguy59 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 As I finish the engine hookups on my Long EZ, (I0-320) I'm wondering, do you have to have an oil seperator or is it just a nice handy thing to keep the plane cleaner? Do you lose much oil without one? Thanks for input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Av1ator Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I have flown my long with and without a seperator. Presently I am operating without. I have run a metal line clamped to the exhaust that I use for the vent line. This burns up any oil that might blow out and leaves a bit of a smoke trail. For me, the biggest thing I have found is to not overfill with oil. If I top it off to 8 quarts it will blow out 2 very quickly! It will run at 5.8 to 6 qts. for HOURS.
