Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 oil level

Morgan Custom is not resting on his laurels and is developing a new oil tank that solves the problems that I have been having.

This new system is an upgrade replacement for his more modest breather system, which I currently have installed. Currently it relieves the crank case pressure on the pinion seals, causing the front one to leak, which I have had since day one of ownership of the new M3W.

I also have had the issue of oil oozing from the fill cap. I have to crank it down so tight that it takes a strap wrench to get it off to look into the tank to check the oil and replenish. I have tried new gaskets and tried different methods of gasketing to no avail, it still drips oil down the side of the tank onto the parts under the tank. Possibly a miss manufactured threaded fill neck and not being square to the cap? In any case I was getting tired of the nonsense on this $55,000 motorcycle/cycle car. Thanks MMC... I have wondered about having an oil pump that is pumping more than normal, if that is even possible.

So when discussing this with Emil of Morgan Custom he came up with this over a period of time and soon I will be number 1 as a test bed for this concept.

Vented, internally baffled, site gauge for checking oil level, in tank oil heater for cold weather startups, better oil lines to and from the engine. Also provision for in tank oil temp sensor.








I should be receiving this late next week for install and testing.
