Can anyone tell me what the working oil capacity of a 914-6 would be with a George Vellios cast aluminium oil tank ?
I am assuming the std capacity with the original oil tank is 8-9 US quarts (about 8.5 litres) Many thanks Andrew |

I forgot to add that for all new systems, in addition to the method above, I say to mark the dipstick with 10.5 to 11 qts in the system and let that be the new max full mark.

QUOTE(9146986 @ Oct 21 2007, 07:07 PM)  I forgot to add that for all new systems, in addition to the method above, I say to mark the dipstick with 10.5 to 11 qts in the system and let that be the new max full mark. I've been away on business for a few days. Thankyou for the information this has been very helpful. Interesting that you say that the tank is a similar volume to the std tank. Couple more questions if I may. You mention about different lengths of dip stick. Can you measure one that is the right length for me ? Where do you get the 'correct' one ? I'm not sure I quite understand your comments about the filler neck. See the attached picture of my filler neck which connects to the tank by a short section of silicon hose using jubilee clips. This is the filler neck kit that was supplied with the tank by Patrick Motorsports. (After several emails to them over 6 months asking for advice they haven't replied to any apart from to say they are very busy and will reply in due course. They never did. Very disappointing). (IMG:http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb207/amallagh/P9230001.jpg) Does this set up look right ? Can you tell me the level the oil should be in the tank when it is hot ? I could maybe then check it in service and make a dip stick to match. Your help is much appreciated Andrew PS Sorry to disappoint at the Rugby. I think you will find we DID score a try but a blind Australian official disallowed it. I think the evidence shown since the match confirms that this was a duff decision. South Africa were probably a better side overall but Englands form in the tournament surprised everyone. Didn't do too well in the F1 GP either. Lewis will be back though ! |
