Dec 11, 2022     Oil filler tube; Tanis heater installation - (5 hours)       Category: Firewall Forward
1. Finished detailing the oil filler tube and installed it.

2. Installed the wiring for the Tanis engine heater:
a. Clamped the power plug fixture to the top right part of the engine mount instead of the oil filler, because that's the only place it would fit and still be accessible through the cowl access door.
b. Ran the five power leads (one to each of the cylinders and one to the oil sump).
c. Wired the 110V power plug.
d. Secured all the wire runs.
e. Bundled the excess wires and secured them.
f. Wired the indicator light and clamped it to the engine mount near the oil dipstick tube, so it can be seen through the access door.
g. Planned the installation of the ground lead.

3. Worked on getting rid of all potential areas of rubbing and abrasion all around the engine.
