I finally completed the flow rate tests with a metering pump and

adapter.

The pump was run with an electric motor at 6000 RPM crank speed. since

the pump is operating on positive displacement, the flow rate changes
linear with RPM.

The pump used was from a '87 13B Turbo, and is mechanically

controlled.

All four lines where feed into one graduated cylinder, the pump feed

tank was placed 6" higher above the pump.

At 6000RPM crank speed and 48deg. control lever opening angle, the

flow

rate is 498cc or .498Liter/hour.

Opening the control lever to 90deg.resulted in a flow rate of

.688Liter/hour.

The 90deg. position seems to be the maximum for the pump. A run with

the lever at 180deg. did not change the flow rate.

Richard, you need your web site address in your signature file.
What is your web site address again in case some one would like to buy
one of these two cycle oil adapters?

I recently put one of Richards adaptors on my EFI 12A turbo motor, I wired
the pump fully "on", and all I can say is  that it used a s%$# load of oil,
I have used about 1 litre /1 quart while chewing through only about 60 L of
fuel. I have since replaced the actuator rod and I hope this will
significantly decrease the consumption.

Also a bad side effect of wireing it fully 'On", is that I fouled  plugs
badly on a cold start, which led to a plug change followed by a smoke storm
for about 10 minutes...

Also has anyone got any tips on where to get a nice stainless or aluminium
oil tank as I am currently using a chemical bottle snared from the bin of my
Laboratory.

Well now we know Richards adaptor will supply more than enough oil :-)
