| Subject: | 912ULS oil tank installation |
Is there a recommended height the oil tank on a 912ULS should be mounted at?
Is there such a thing as mounting the tank too low or too high compared to the
centerline of the engine? Thanks,
Scott

Scott,
Check your 912 Installation Manual. In the 914 Installation Manual it
is Chapter 13) Lubrication System, Section 13.6) Feasible position and
location of the oil tank.
"The oil tank (1) has to be positioned in its z-axis such that the oil
level (2) is always between 0 and -400 mm (-15.75 in.) on the z-axis.
WARNING: At higher location of the oil tank oil might trickle through
clearances
at bearings into crankcakse during longer periods of engine stop.
If
fitted too low it might badly effect the oil circuit."
If you do not have a copy of the 912ULS Installation Manual, go to the
Rotax Owners Assistance Site ( http://www.rotax-onwer.com/ ) and
download a pdf.
I'd also recommend registering as a Rotax owner so that you can
receive notification of service bulletins, etc.
Good building and great flying,

Scott,
Look at Lockwood Installation Tips. The document explains the proper
installation height and has pictures. The height is critical to proper
oil distribution.

Real men don't read instructions. Kitfox owners install the oil tank above the
engine.
