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, dont 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.
