I like the Oetiker clamps but they are one time use clamps. The fuel injection clamps with some torque seal will last a very long time and I can reuse them if needed.

When I bought my plane it was S-LSA and it had the Saf Air quick drain on it which was done illegally as there was no LOA or even a log entry for it. I've since converted to E-LSA so no issues there. I love the Saf Air quick drain that I have and would never remove it. When it's time for an oil change I simply slip a 3/8 hose over the end of the valve, place the other end in my oil drain pan, push and turn and voila, the oil flows out quickly and no crush washers or safety wire to replace. I only run 93 oct MOGAS so no need to remove the tank for lead sludge.![]()
That being said, the Saf Air M12175 that is on my plane IS actually certified by Rotax for installation on their CERTIFIED engines, not the ULS. There is a FAA-PMA for the Saf Air quick drain. This gives me piece of mind knowing that if Rotax approves it for their certified engines, it's good enough for my non-certified, E-LSA 912ULS.
The FAA-PMA letter states that the Saf Air M12175 is an approved replacement on CERTIFIED engines for part number 241 403, which is the Rotax oil can drain plug.
Lockwood sells the Saf Air quick drain for $43.95 and the OEM bolt and crush washer total $41.36.
As you said before Warmi, if you want it done right.............
