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.

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. > > Did you reduce the line only at the separator (in and out)? Stated another way, 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? > > Did it reduce your belly oil??? > > Did it work as advertised? > > Am I going to be the guinea pig on this one? > > > On my 6A with new engine not rebuilt, I just set it up per plans and wiped the belly a few times per year - not a big deal.
