Subject:Diesel turbo oil drainage
From:John Patton
Date:Sat, 28 Jul 2001 01:54:10 -0400

Hi Maynard,

Diesels produce considerably more crankcase blow-by gases than the gas motor.
The turbo oil should drain BELOW the crankcase oil level. If it drained above,
the blow-by gases would enter the drain tube and become a counter-force to the
normal turbo oil flow.

Regards,       John
