Oil lines as electrical ground return?
I accidently wrote my first post as a reply to another thread, so here
it is again on its own. I have a pusher airplane with a nose oil cooler. I am replacing the existing heavy hydraulic type(rubber/braided steel) oil cooler lines with lighter metal lines. Either soft Aluminum or soft copper 1/2 lines. First question. I would like to use the lines as my ground return and remove the 2 AWG wire I have now. Good idea? Second question. Which would be better, or possibly which would be worse and why? Copper or Aluminum.. Aluminum would be lighter but copper offers a better ground return(less resistance). I have a big engine and the starter needs all the current I can muster. Scott |
