There is foam in the fuel tank gauge, and the oil pressure fluctuates irregularly. The water content is 200 ppm; what is the reason for this? ? ?
Does it have a self-priming pump with forced lubrication? I thought about the areas where the lubricating oil can come into contact with water – is there any leakage in the oil station’s heat exchanger?
Well, the heat exchanger has no leaks. Water content in oil: 200PPM
When the air is too humid and there are large temperature fluctuations between day and night, water vapor can enter the fuel tank through its breather openings, resulting in moisture content in the lubricating oil.
It is normal to see foam on the oil level in the oil sight glass, as air gets mixed in when the oil flows into the oil pan. The issue of oil pressure fluctuations is caused by excessive air entering the oil pump through the oil lines, as well as cracks in the oil pipes. It is common for there to be moisture in the oil; as long as it is within the acceptable range, there is no problem.
Pay close attention to changes in the oil level, and check for any air leaks at the oil pump inlet It might be the cause of the oil pressure fluctuations.
The oil level does not rise, and the water content in the oil is high. Generally, there is a high amount of moisture in the air, which dissolves in the oil. One approach that can be taken is to introduce a slight positive pressure of nitrogen in the mailbox.
The oil pressure is fluctuating; it is recommended to check the crankshaft bearings. It happened before; it was the babbitt that came off.
