Tanis heaters

I too take of the filler caps after every flight and let the steam
escape. But thigs are covered up enough to prevent anything from going in.

flight and open up the oil filler tube (IO520) to allow any humid air to
escape the engine.


That does seem to make sense. Probably much better than being on a
thermostat that turns it off and on.
