It catches the oil normally blown out and returns it to the engine, so you are using only what you burn (not what gets blown out). I have one on my 2200, using PVC pipe fittings and Scotchbrite stainless steel pan scourer inside. And I run the oil pretty much at the bottom of the dipstick, as before the catcher, any more would end up in the oil bottle. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:32:23 AM PST US Subject: JabiruEngine-List: Re: Rough running Jab 3300 From: "Gary Eady" Thanks guys. I flew 2 hours non-stop last weekend and left one element of the electric ice eliminator on at all times. No rough running problems so assuming the problem was icing.

I used a punch to drive the dip stick down into the cap the distance between full and add. Now the full mark is .2 qts less volume. G.

It is a very nice unit.
