air oil seperator?

Post by bilhelm »

In an attempt to help keep the belly clean, I am thinking about installing an air oil seperator. Has anyone else installed one? If so, what model? Have any thoughts on this?

THanks,

thanks, I did a search and didn't find that thread.

Looks like it's better to avoid it.

In the latest issue of Cessna Pilots magazine there is an article about this issue. If you can get a copy of it is an interesting read. Some mention about sky ranch and pipe being connected from your annus to your mouth. A liitle crude but it gets the point accross.
