AN-8 Turbo Oil Return Line sufficient for my application???

[C130tech]

Hello all.

I would like someone to confirm before I proceed with the installation.

Did a search but did not find any info stating if an AN-8 Turbo Oil Return Line would be sufficient or if I'd need to get an AN-10.

Nothing exotic for Spool; B16G.

I already have a Line and the Adaptors.

I'm not exactly sure what kind of responses your looking for but the stock lines are fine so any upgrade will be more than enough.

I've got the -6an fuel lines and sometimes have problems with leaks so it may not be worth it.

I think most of the people that have viewed this thread (myself included) thought that you were talking about fuel return, not oil return, which is why you haven't gotten many responses. I have no idea if a -8 AN oil return line is big enough. If you're dead set on using an AN line for the oil return, just go with -10 to be safe.

Yes, -6 would too small, and -8AN may be cutting it too close. My buddy uses a -10 AN and this was based upon comparing the stock return line to the -10 AN size.

You are right; I omited to mentionned "Turbo Oil Return Line". Sorry about that one guys.

Additionnal info; I installed a new Stock Oil Return Line when I put on the new Spool. I also used new Crush Washers and Gaskets but it still leaks and it's kind of pissing me off.

I have access to "cheap" AN Hardware (read my username) and would like to get rid of that drip...

Each AN "dash" number equals 1/16" so an AN-8 would be 1/2" (inside dia) and an AN-10 would be 5/8".

Like I said; I got the AN-8 Hardware but would like someone to confirm if they used AN-8 and what were their results.
