Rowland,
FWIW, on my 914, I left the banjo fitting as it was and ran the return line
forward,
up the port front and across the top of the engine back to the oil reservoir
inlet. The hose is covered with heat shield near exhaust pipes.
Perhaps if I did it again, Id obtain the necessary crush washers and reorient
the
banjo to point aft toward the reservoir for a shorter run.
In any case, make sure you apply heat shield when close to hot stuff.
Blue skies & tailwinds,
Bob Borger

On my Rotax 912S the outlet of the banjo fitting on the oil sump points forward.
The pipe connected to it goes aft to starboard. The manual (Fig 7, page 5-5,
912S Installation) shows it pointing about 45 degrees forward and starboard.
It looks as though it would be sensible to re-orient the banjo to point about
45 degrees aft and starboard. Is this a good or bad idea?
in friendship
