WTB c-85 Oil Sump

[sully]

I'm looking for an Oil Sump to fit a C-85 L-2 Taylorcraft. It looks like a BC Taylorcraft sump will fit. Long neck with a tight mounting lug on the neck. Needs to clear the engine mount and the stock one piece exhaust system.

Thanks,
Sully

It should be the same 4 quart as the 65 kidney tank.

Re: WTB c-85 Oil Sump

From what I've seen I agree. A 4 qt off a 65 will work if it came off a Taylorcraft. The mounting lug is welded on the front of the neck and wraps to the inside. Obviously the neck is at a slightly different angle coming out of the tank. I've been through 4 different sumps so far and all the necks interfere with the mount or the original exhaust. I'm learning more about oil sumps than I ever wanted to.

There is a posting about the part number for kidney tanks in the tech section, I posted several, including how to repair, part numbers, etc. Tim

Thanks for the info. None of the 4 tanks I've tried had a part number on the flange.
