Suggestion

We held off on using the fire extinguisher and after what seemed like an eternity, but probably was only a minute or so, the exhaust cooled enough to stop igniting the drips.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

for 996's. Anyone have info on how this is to be installed?

POST 2Original post

Simply apply a hose clamp around the circumference of the oil filler cap and tighten.

POST 3Original post

If the oil cap is not tight and somehow work its way out during a DE run it might cause an oil fire. Guess how I find out! I was lucky that there were no damage but took 2 hours to clean up the mess.

POST 5Original post

My oil filler cap came loose (but did not fall off) last Winter at Thunderhill. At the end of the second session enough oil had sloshed out that it began dripping on the exhaust. Not fun to see flames under the engine compartment. We held off on using the fire extinguisher and after what seemed like an eternity, but probably was only a minute or so, the exhaust cooled enough to stop igniting the drips. I missed the next session while I cleaned up with the help of a very kind volunteer instructor (thanks Eric), and was back for the last two sessions. I installed a new filler cap the next week, but haven't tried a hose clamp yet.

POST 6Original post

Wow. Can someone post a photo of that? I get it, but I would like to see one on the cap.

POST 7Original post

It's not that unusual. All of our tract addicts have them - 2 min. job to install.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
