Title: Displacement lubricator
Post by: steam up on March 27, 2014, 07:53:05 pm

Made this new lubricator for the latest engine I have made. I was getting rather sick of trying to fill past the steam inlet pipe.

When filling with steam oil the needle valve is part. This means that one does not have to wait for the oil to drop past the needle.
The lower needle allows the water to be drained
