    Subject: Re: Oil sender problems with HKS
    Not sure of your experience level around aircraft - if you put in a tubing fed pressure gauge on your aircraft, one thing you need to add is a flow restrictor at the engine end. In the event the tubing should crack or break or become disconnected, the restrictor at the engine end restricts the loss of oil giving you time to land the aircraft. Also Imagine hot oil spraying on your lower body and legs, or next possible event, cockpit fire. This is done on certified aircraft. The restrictor is nothing more than a small component with a small hole in it to restrict the flow of oil but yet big enough to allow enough flow for pressure to build or fall at the gauge to register the pressure level changes. jerb At 11:32 AM 8/5/2012, you wrote: >It appears that oil senders and the EIS systems do not get along >very well.

    http://www.rotaxservice.com/rotax_tips/rotax_TBO.htm Jack in Key West Believe current TBO has been increased to 2,000 hours. Mandatory for LSA (certified) aircraft, but only "recommened TBO" for experimental homebuilts. No way would I tear down a good 912 series engine at 2,000 hours unless there was a foreseen or current problem. john h MKIII Roland, Oklahoma and heading West
