Bottom oil line on 914/6 oil tank.... Options

[Joe Bob]

Stoopid freaking rotten godamned oil line is sweating out the pores of the rubber and cloth weave oil ine.....looks like a replacement is needed.....I don't think it can be removed without pulling the tank.

Anyone been able to get up to that nut with the tank in place? Should be the 36mm one ........ (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

In setting these up, my thought was that a lot of the steel braied lines we see are massive overkill. These line see only a little more than atmospheric pressure, so using fittings and line that are rated above 100 psi is more than enough. A lot of the stuff that is used in convrsions is rated at thousands of psi, which is a pure waste. IMO. Once again, I hope this helps.

I put enuff pressure on my scavenge line to blow my Aux cooler (one of my glorius fuckups). I talked to a guy(racer) that had a pressure gage rigged on his scavenge line. He reported up to 165 psi on it with a cold engine.....that's bout 10 bar, slightly over atmospheric, I'd say.

GPR used to sell a 2 piece feed line that is similar to the stocker.....steel fittings at each end.
