| Subject: | Europa oil drain plug |
I am going to change the drain plug on the oil tank to a Saf-Air type. I think
the thread size is 3/8. Can anyone confirm the size?
Thank you

You sure? I thought the ROTAX stuff was metric.
I have torque settings table from ConAir and the Oil Tank Drain Plug is shown as
an M12 bolt with a torque setting of 25Nm.

Hi Alan. I am not sure of the size. You may very well be right but I have to
be 100% sure before ordering.
Thank you for your advice

Have a look at the Rotax Parts Manual. Page 79-20-00 page 3
IPC_912_914 Series_ED4_R3.pdf
<https://www.rotax-owner.com/pdf/IPC_912_914%20Series_ED4_R3.pdf>
It lists the drain plug as M12x12
I agree you need to be 100% so worth doing the research.

Hi Martin I have one from Lockwood: https://lockwood.aero/oil-drain-valve-for-912-oil-tank-certified.html
I'm not sure if I'm going to use it. Is it really that
much of a hassle to remove the drain plug and re-safety? Ron P.

FWIW, Kevin Dilks (UK Rotax guru) recommends not using a drain valve.
Using the drain plug allows the oil to flow freely, thus taking any particl
es out with it.
Good advice, I think...

Thank you all for the advice.
Good point made by Kevin Dilks re free flow of oil. I have fitted this type of
drain valve to other aircraft and it does make an oil change much less messy.
I have always worked on the premise that the easier a job is to complete the better.
The less they will be put off to a later date.
