The return to the oil tank will be via the stand pipe, Allen. If that were the flow from the tank, the tank would have to be very full to work. George

Allen , my 1955 es2 engine oil pipes. ( outer pipe - oil feed ) - ( inner pipe - oil return ) don't know if they altered them at a later stage

Hello that looks like a thourghbread there Barry yes you are right about these oil pipes and they have never changed them to the last Commando witch was the same setup And I do see in our day were having to fit taps in the feed line, I never real liked this But it better and having oil spitting out of your exhaust tail pipe and white smoke all over the nabuor-hud like a Gardener diesel engine, even I have had to submit to fitting an oil taps so now all start laughing and if you can find an nice vintage brass tap that will fit in your crankcase by drilling a hole a taping in a thread for it to drain off unwanted oil in the crankcase you do need a small amount just on start up only the engines own oil pump will take care of the running, here is hoping you can solove your problems yours Anna J Dixon
