    Has anyone used the #4 cylinder oil drain line like this to drain the wet vacuum pump separator?

    I have seen it used for the M20 air oil seperator.

    Clean it really good. We can weld it if you want.

    I have done this several times. Usually with a welded setup like in the photo. However on my RV9 I just cut a section out of the oil return line and put in a AN-6 “T” with flared fittings. Not much volume comes out of the oil separator.
