Abstract
An automatic condensed oil remover for an intercooler of a diesel engine has a flow restrictor that is positioned between the intercooler and the diesel engine, an oil sump in the intercooler, and an oil tube carrying condensed oil from the oil sump to the diesel engine. The flow restrictor creates a pressure drop sufficient to force the oil to flow from the oil sump through the oil tube to the diesel engine.
