I don't know what solvent my A&P used back then when flushing the tanks. "Solvent" was his answer. Others might know. As for the oil pump problem. Wayne's article on Ercoupe.info (http://www.ercoupe. info/?n=Main. OilPump) tells you pretty much all about it. But for getting oil to the pump I recommend John Coopers method by blowing into the engine breather while cranking the engine with the spark plugs out. This has more chances on getting oil to the pump then trying to squirt oil in the the openings. And you won't have to take parts off the engine. For a detailed view on where the oil passages are and what relates to what read this article here: http://150cessna. tripod.com/ oilflow.html Hartmut To: ercoupe-tech@ yahoogroups. com From: nick.king88@ yahoo.com Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:52:04 -0700 Subject: [ercoupe-tech] fuel tanks I guess even with the fuel out of the tank it could be explosive with a spark. Good point. What kind of solvent would you flush it with. I like the power wash idea. If there was no leaking before , then why is it in there. My other problem is the 0 oil pressure on start after a long time. I understand what causes it now but you gents have given me too many solutions.My oil filter sits laterely , so I can not pre fill the filter. It does look like the fixture would have 2 passages, is this where I put in oil (picked up a new battery "bulb" today). I like the idea of using the oil sending hole. Where is it. Is it easy to get to, and is that all you do. Nick Lauren found her dream laptop. Find the PC that’s right for you.
