CHECKING OIL CIRCULATION 
Provision is made to observe the oil in circulation and it is advisable to do this before 
each run. 
If the filler cap on the oil tank is removed the bent over end of the oil return pipe will 
be noticed some two inches below the level of the filler cap orifice and the returning 
oil can be seen running from it. This check should be made Immediately after starting 
the engine from cold. This is because while the engine is stationary, oil from all parts 
of the interior of the engine drains back into the crankcase sump, so that, until this surplus 
is cleared, the return flow is very positive and continuous. Therefore, if the oil circula-
tion is deranged, the fact is apparent at once by the lack of a steady return flow.

filter in its cylindrical housing and 
the metal strainer mounted on the 
entry end of the feed pipe union. 
Also shows the direction of flow of 
oil from tank to engine and return 
flow from engine to tank via the small 
spout, located so that it can be 
inspected by removing the tank 
filler cap. An air vent pipe is located 
in the back of the oil tank to ensure 
freedom from air-locks.
