My Coupe with a C-85 has a long neck oil tank that points to the right side 
seen from the pilots view. It is narrow, but it fits

Subject: [ercoupe-tech] Oil Tank Filler Tank.

  



Hi guys:

We believe we have my engine mount issue sorted out, thanks to those who 
responded off-line, and especially Mike @ Skport for crawling around and 
measuring every mount they had in the house...twice! The engine is hanging.

Next issue: Why is the Ercoupe oil tank filler neck on the left side? Is it to 
just be able to have more room around the exhaust stack? Is there any legal 
reason why it can't be on the right side? I'm pretty sure my other Ercoupe 
(C-90) had it on the right side, and other than having to open both sides to be 
able to check the gascolator, it worked. Did any other aircraft of the era use 
the left-side filler neck?

I'm told there are no 'new' tanks with left-side filler necks available. Any 
suggestions?
