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

[michel richard]

The return line is 1.050 O.D. I added a shot of the elbow at the engine end.

Note that none of the fitting-to-hose connections show any oil stains - somewhat proud of that.

Thanks a lot for all your good info and pics.

This is the place where I got the hose. The owner probably can speak some English, but I'm not positive. Saint-Constant is a suburb of Montreal. I doubt he would remember me, although I've been there a few times and he sort of recognizes me when I show up. The worst that can happen if you phone him up is that you will waste the long distance charges. Canadian and US phone systems are integated. You dial "1", then the area code.

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.

Thanks for the pics, Michel. You've got a clean install with no leaks. Congrats!

Your setup is different in several respects. The replacement hose we've looked for is the supply line. If you find a vendor for that I'd sure like to know about it.

[michel richard]

I'll see if I can get details after all.

I stand corrected, but I suspect that the presence of an auxiliary cooler changes things significantly. In any event, the scavenge line I use, as you can see, is rated to 350 psi, the supply is even higher.

You are correct, aux coolers were involved.
The SS braided lines may be overkill, but one can fab the lines
in the comfort of one's own garage and I found that I had to fab the aux cooler lines "in place"......run the lines then add the fittings.
