Tecnam Sierra dipstick info


Recommended Posts

This dipstick managed to leave our calibrated dipstick on the wing during the preflight yesterday. Sadly an extensive search of the surrounds didn't locate it, so I'm faced with the task of making a new one. To hopefully save me from laborously draining and refilling the tanks, does anyone have a marked dipstick for a Sierra with 100L wing tanks. If so, could you please tell me the measurements of the markings?

 

Thanks!

Did you know that oil dipsticks shorten over time? The process is hastened by the heat generated by the operation of the engine.OME

That explains a lot. Now I understand why the more I use an engine, the lower the oil level appears to get. I don't have less oil, I just have a shorter dipstick. It all makes perfect sense now.

Takes me back to the days when the best wayto fix a noise in a car was to simply turn the radio up until the noise stopped.
