nearly any engine/airframe installation, these instructions illus-
trate an installation on an AeroVee engine. AeroConversions

Oil Separator Features
Mounting the Separator
The oil separator must be mounted in a position that permits
the oil drain port to be above the engine's oil level in normal
flight attitudes. When selecting a location for the oil separator
keep in mind the need for access to the oil drain port if an oil
return line to the engine will not be installed.

How It Works
Oil vapor that enters your engine's oil breather is routed to the
separator where it is collected. A steel ball in the breather input
port prevents excessive oil loss during inverted flight.
An oil drain / return port on the bottom of the separator allows
collected oil from the separator to return to the engine via an
oil return hose connected to a low point on your engine's oil
sump, or be collected in the separator and drained.
The vapor port vents vapor out the bottom of the aircraft with-
out excessive oil residue.
