Hi! All,
I let the vent pipe 1/8th diameter exit into the aft of the lower cowl which
never
caused a problem on the 914 of G-PTAG as it only amounted to not much more
than an occasional drop. I guess that fixing a mini pill bottle filled with wire
wool may have collected the oil better but even that would be overkill !
Regards
Bob Harrison .

Here's what I used. A little over 10 bucks on Ebay.

Hi Bob
I'm installing my oil tank. Here's what the manual says about venting the tank:
The vent from the oil tank allows an oil mist to escape to atmosphere. It is not
unusual to run the vent line to the bottom of the cowling, however if you do
this, dont position the end of the tube such that i twill be in the airstream
whilst flying. This could cause low pressure at the end of the tube to suck more
oil from the tank than it should.Another consideration is that the oil mist
will tend to coat the fuselage if left to vent freely. To avoid this you can
run the vent line into a collector bottle before it goes to atmosphere;
however,
no bottle is provided.
Europa is calling it a collector bottle.
