Anti-Splat Air/Oil Separator

[UnPossible]

Hey - plugging away on the FWF and I am shifting gears to mounting and connecting the Anti-Splat Air/Oil Separator. Anti-Splat recommends mounting the unit high on the firewall on the co-pilot side. This looks like it will fit well, as there isn't a lot of equipment to interfere with in this area.

Does anyone have pictures of what tubing / hoses you used to get from the engine breather fitting over to the Anti-Splat separator?

Thanks,
Jason

Pm me your email and I will send you my installation photos. Too much of a pain to post here

Now that posting photos is a snap on VAF, could you post those Antisplat oil separator photos??

Maybe I missed it, but what has changed to make posting pics easier?

Breather hose routing is the same for any separator can. From breather port to can, always run uphill the whole way. Insulating the breather line by running it inside ordinary fuzzy-lined firesleeve is a good thing, as you want the breather gas to remain as hot as possible.

Thanks for the tip Dan

Drain line

Obviously, the supplied prefabricated drain line back to the case is a priority to consider.

Here is how I mounted it for an RV-10. The breather hose came from Anti-Spat as well. It makes a soft 180 degree bend to the engine breather connection. On this install I made an adapter to transition from the engine breather fitting to the hose (the hose was just a little smaller).

Note - I recommend never returning the oil from the separator back to the engine. I collect this oil in an old Brasso can attached to the engine mount. I empty the can every oil change - never had more than 2 or 3 ounces in the can.

ASA Oil Separator with battery on Co-Pilot side RV-7

Has anyone mounted the ASA oil separator on a RV-7 with the battery on the co-pilot side? How did you run your tubing??

Thanks for the photos but I don't see a battery on the co-pilot side.

My dilemma is how to run the hoses with the battery in the way, especially if I install the ASA crankcase vacuum kit.

Mine is installed on a -10. So the batteries are in the rear. Also, the the 540 uses the larger Seperator.

Mike did you ever install? Any photos you could share. I’m doing this after the fact and I have hinge pins to worry about and my MAP sensor. Trying not to move a lot of stuff around. Thinking pilot side may be easier.

I looked back in my build log photos and came across many good images. The only problem is I moved the separator sometime later and did not get any photos. Here's the only photo I could find of the final installation. the oil return line is the same as the original so I included a photo.

I can get some more detailed photos but it might take a day or two.

Thanks for the pics. I’m going to crawl under my panel today and see what options I have.
