The commentators so far are referring to the excellent advantages of
the wet pump for IFR. Far as I know, none of the separators work very well with negative Gs. I have a wet pump and the Walker (airwolf now) and if I do a 0 G parabaloa, I get oil all over the belly. If you are doing both acro and ifr, the dry pump might be better. Bill Hale Loveland CO

One thing about oil seperators. They collect water. Water freezes. Then
they don't let the crankcase breathe at all. This is for some installations, some are in a warm spot. Depends. Keep an eye on it.

From what I understand, not only does the wet pump last MUCH longer,
but when it dies, it dies gradually rather than going belly up while you are in a cloud, on an NDB approach, one very dark night. I fly hard IFR and would never give up my wet pump. Helen
