| Subject: | Re: Oil/Air Separator |
I had the setup on my rv6. If I remember correctly, there is a spool inside the
can. It came lose and blocked the outlet and I blew a bunch of seals due to internal
pressure. The remedy was a pin that held the spool in place. I brought
this up to them and hopefully there is a modification to address the issue.
I have not installed one on the 10.
Do not archive.

was brought up was about 2008, or 5 years ago. Would sure appreciate some good
feedback from some flying folks who have used the Andair OS850#4 Oil/Air Separator,
and the CT850 Condensation Trap. I bought these at OSH and am ready to
install them - but see a few issues. One is the IO-540 breather line is 1 inch
on the Lycoming Vans bought engine. The Andair separator line is 3/4 inch,
in and out. Probably not a problem, but don't like the reduction in size on
a breather line. So before I select to go this route, would sure appreciate
any input from anyone who has installed this unit and how it works - good, bad,
or indifferent.

at the 1 inch breather output fitting on the engine, did you go immediately
to a 3/4 inch hose, or run 1 inch hose to the separator, then reduce to the
3/4?
