Oil Filter Too Close to Exhaust
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions
7 years ago
I'm finding that my plane isn't the only one with this issue (Tecnam P2008 with 912 ULS) but I haven't found anyone admitting to a fix. Every time I change my oil filter, I have to loosen the exhaust pipe in order to have enough room to remove the old filter. There just isn't enough room between them. As the old filter is unscrewed it comes in contact with the exhaust pipe but the threads are still firmly attached. I have to loosen the pipe to get the old filter off and the new filter on. So since the oil filter was changed and made longer, how are others dealing with it? I consider this a real pain.
