An engine includes a crankcase in which a crank chamber that houses a crankshaft is formed, a cylinder block that is attached to the crankcase, and a cylinder that is formed with a sliding surface with respect to a piston. The crankcase includes a partition wall that forms the crank chamber. A lower end of the cylinder protrudes into the crank chamber from a lower end of the cylinder block, and a communicating hole that connects inside and outside of the cylinder is formed on a side surface of the cylinder as viewed in an axial direction of the crankshaft. The partition wall is formed with an opening that is communicated with the communicating hole.

An agricultural product application implement includes a system and method for indicating an amount of fluid stored. A pressure transducer installed at the sump of a fluid tank electronically measures and displays a fluid depth. Instrumentation, such as an instrument cluster unit for the implement, is programmed via software to convert the voltage output of the pressure transducer to a volume measurement displayed in the operator's line of sight. Software within the instrument cluster unit for self-calibrating accounts for varying densities of different chemical solutions. The pressure transducer is used in conjunction with a transfer medium to prevent corrosive chemical solutions from contacting the pressure transducer.

An outboard motor is for propelling a marine vessel in water and can be trimmed about a trim axis into and between a raised position in which the outboard motor is fully trimmed up out of the water and a lowered position in which the outboard motor is fully trimmed down into the water. The outboard motor has a hydraulic steering actuator for steering the outboard motor about steering axis and a reservoir mounted on the outboard motor and containing hydraulic fluid for the hydraulic steering actuator. A vent opening vents the reservoir to atmosphere and is located on top of the reservoir and closer to the back of the outboard motor than the front of the outboard motor so that the vent opening does not become covered by the hydraulic fluid when the outboard motor is trimmed into and out of the raised and lowered positions.

An internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle includes a crankcase. The crankcase has having at least two oil separation devices and having a return device. The return device has at least one first return channel that is flowable through by a first portion of the oil separated from the blow-by gas with a first of the oil separation devices, through which the first portion of the separated oil is guided from the first oil separation device into the reservoir. The return device also has at least one second return channel that is at least partially spaced apart from the first return channel and is flowable through by a second portion of the oil separated from the blow-by gas via the second oil separation device, through which second return channel the second portion of the separated oil is guided from the second oil separation device into the reservoir.

The invention relates to a device for venting a crank casing of an internal combustion engine for a vehicle, having a plurality of venting ducts (13, 15, 53, 67, 84) by means of which gases flowing into a crank casing space (19) of the crank casing (7) can be conducted out of the crank casing space (19) again, wherein gas inlet openings (29, 55, 73), opening into the crank casing space (19), of the venting ducts are arranged in such a way that in a first defined inclination position of the internal combustion engine (3) a first venting duct does not dip with its gas inlet opening (29) into oil trough oil which is collected in an oil trough (5) of the internal combustion engine (3), and a second venting duct dips with its gas inlet opening (29, 55, 73) into the oil trough oil, wherein in a second defined inclination position of the internal combustion engine (3) which differs from the first inclination position the first venting duct (13, 67) dips with its gas inlet opening (29) into the oil trough oil and the second venting duct does not dip with its gas inlet opening (29, 55, 73) into the oil trough oil. According to the invention, a control device is provided by means of which a flow of fluid through the venting ducts can be shut off and released fluidically as a function of the inclination of the internal combustion engine (3), wherein in the first inclination position of the internal combustion engine (3) the control device releases the first venting duct and shuts off the second venting duct, and wherein in the second inclination position of the internal combustion engine (3) the control device releases the second venting duct and shuts off the first venting duct.

A pressure transducer installed at the sump of a fluid tank may electronically measure and display a fluid depth. Instrumentation, such as the instrument cluster unit for the implement, can be programmed via software to convert the voltage output of the pressure transducer to a volume measurement to be displayed in the operator's line of sight. Software may be provided within an instrument cluster unit for self-calibrating to account for varying densities of different chemical solutions. The pressure transducer may be used in conjunction with a transfer medium to prevent corrosive chemical solutions from contacting the pressure transducer.
