To elaborate,
Perhaps my description left out the important detail.
There is an additional tube that comes off the top of that tank which I
described already.
That goes to an air vented can way down below.
I suppose that one could contain undesirable oil.
But there is never anything in there.
I should have mentioned that in both of my previous posts.
Does that sound better Henry?
