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 |

Take the hose clamps and sleeve that holds the filler neck to the tank, and make sure the filler neck is seated as deep as possible.
If it's all the way in, then it looks like 14 qts may be the number. All of those tanks I installed have auxillary oil coolers, so I never knew the basic oil volume of that tank alone. Warmed up to operating temp, idling on a flat surface? Sorry, just have to make sure. If you can get 14 or 15 quarts in the tank, without it spewing out all over the engine bay, then all the better. A dry sump system is not like a conventional engine that could be damaged by over filling the oil. |
