OIL TANK BASIC DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
1. Have an oil capacity of 6-8 litres or more oil with a minimum usable level of 3 litres.
2.
An air pocket above the oil level of approx. 20%. This is allocated as an area for the expansion and over fill of oil
and is where the scavenge pump, oil pressure relief and crank case vents all return to.
3. Oil Tank is to be mounted slightly above the CL of lower oil pump. With aircraft in static position. This allows for a
head of oil to be present at the inlet oil pump.
4.
Various fittings on the tank for:
(A)
Oil pressure relief valve return 3/8 nipple for hose clamp attachment fitted to high point on
tank
(B)
Crank case vent. 3/8 nipple, hose clamp attachment fitted to high point on tank
(C)
Crankcase scavenge pump return. 3/8 nipple, hose clamp attachment fitted to high point on tank
(D)
Oil tank breathe. 3/8 nipple vented to atmosphere, fitted to very highest point on tank or if higher
than tank fit to oil filler cap
(E)
Oil drain sump plug tapped into very lowest point on tank
(F)
Oil pump suction, pick an AN fitting to suit 3/8 ID hose, mounted slightly above lowest point on tank
so as to avoid sedimentary debris
(G)
Oil temperature sender mounted to lowest point on tank (could also be sued as a sump plug)
(H)
Oil filler port and cap. Could also incorporate tank vent as described in (E)
ENGINE CONNECTIONS
See Rotec Radial Oil Circuit Schematic (Figure #)
Engine Oil:
•
Inlet - AN6 fitting bottom RHS, viewed from the front of the engine
•
Outlet - AN6 fitting on the bottom of the mini sump
Oil Pump (Mechanical):
•
Location - 6 o’clock position, viewed from the rear of the engine
•
Inlet - LHS AN^ fitting
•
Outlet - RHS AN6 fitting
Scavenger Pump (Mechanical)
•
Location - 12 o’clock position, viewed from the rear of the engine, embedded in the distrivutor assembly
•
Inlet - RHS AN6 fitting
•
Outlet - LHS AN6 fitting
Auxiliary Scavenger Pump (Electrical):

Optional Upgrade: Recommended to remove excess oil quickly after shutdown or prolonged standing
•
Location - Airframe mounted
Oil Filter Block:
•
Location - Airframe mounted
•
Sensors (Both 1/8’’ NPT):
•
Oil Pressure Warning Light
•
Oil Pressure Sender - Pressure: 300 to 350 kPa (43 to 50 psi) at cruise (3200 engine RPM)
WARNING:
The above mentioned oil tank does not facilitate inverted flight or negative gravity operation. Oil starvation for just a
short period of time can cause engine failure and/or permanent engine damage.
