There currently is a discussion in the classifieds about 914-6 oil tanks that drifted into other discussions such as filter location.
Link: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=379458 What would be the cleanest way to move the oil filter from the stock 914-6 location to a vertical installation on the lower firewall? Can the filter console at the tank be capped with some U-turn? Zero experience with a 914-6 setup, but it seems like replacing the horizontally placed oil filter has a high potential of making a mess. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Or is there a simple trick? |

Montreal914, on the 914-6 you drain oil tank, the horizontal oil filter also drains. When removing the filter I place a paper towel under it....barely a drop. Best, Mark

A small catch pan solves the drips. Why change something that works so well - on every 911.

This is fancy, you can trim one out of an empty plastic container, but it works, I end up using it for other uses too…
