Keeping a pair of long, mechanical fingers in your tool box for that "just in case" situation helps in removing the caps and rings instead of the poss ibility of having to remove the oil tank.=C2- How do I know this works? =C2- Anyone want to guess?=C2- :-)) http://www.lowes.com/pd_79041-56005 -70396_1z0x3hu__?productId=3139045&pl=1 Dennis From: Richard Goode To: yak-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, August 15, 2015 12:32 AM Subject: RE: Yak-List: Foreign Object in CJ6 Oil Reservoir .com> We had a customer with oil pressure problems in a Yak 18T, and after some investigation found no less than 17 oil caps or their retaining rings in th e oil tank!

The engine was shut down and the aircraft secured. 6 days later my mx guy (Jason Berman) and I (Jason mostly ) explored the problem. We determine that the oil pump was putting out pressure but the oil was not getting out of the reservoir. Oil was returnin g but not getting out. Long story short we found after drawing all the oil out that a plastic oil cap from a quart oil container had somehow gotten into the reservoir and made its way to the oil outlet and blocked it. It had probably been there for along time and just happened to make its way to block the oil outlet. W e had to remove the oil reservoir in order to extract the oil cap. I would guess that most people when they change the oil do not inspect the inside o f the reservoir.=C2- It would probably be a good idea to start doing such a n inspection.
