Typical BRAND "X" kit.

What you see is what you get.

What's missing? How about;

  1. Bare aluminum can with no corrosion protection. No powdercoating, no anodizing, just bare aluminum.
  2. Tubes are all unbeaded.. No wonder we hear all the complaints why users of this system cannot keep the hoses from sliding off the tubes.
  3. Hoses.  There is no way of connnecting to or returning any oil to the engine.
  4. Clamps.There are no clamps to secure the hoses.
  5. Fittings..There are no fittings supplied to connect anything to the engine.
  6. Sealed unit. There is no way to open up the unit and do any kind of inspection or cleaning. How do you know when it is going bad? It could be rotting away from the insde out and you will never know it until it's to late.

So for almost the same price as our MiniSep, you get nothing but a small aluminum can and you are supposed to have your mechainic manufacture and and round up all the parts necessary to do the actual installation onto the aircraft. At $75/hr and up, you can easily exceed the price of the original part and then some.
