Has anyone tried using a small compressed air type filter/separator
housing/filter for the CCV?

I want to stop the oily build-up, but don't want to go with the
EHM, or the Provent, just thought a 1/2" or 3/4" compressed air separator may work.

The ones I am used to are about 2" in diameter, about 3-4" long,
with a drain on the bottom.

They are designed for decent flow and low restriction.

Just a thought..........

John

There have been several variants - you can search - most were in the 06-07 time frame
even some build your own versions (PVC pipe fixtures)

They all seem to help - none have the blow off feature on the Provent

I think most folks settled on EHM or Provent -
although no one's mentioned taking off one of the variants.

Thanks,
I'll search and look at the variants too........

Thanks guys,
This looks like a decent set-up. Is there a filter (steel wool, etc) inside or
is it an empty chamber?

John : :lol:

As mentioned above there should be a pressure relief valve expecially in areas with winter temperatures below freeezing. The vapor can freeze and clog the system expecially with the filter your proposing.
Google should give you lots of information :BANANA:

It has something inside - I'd guess steel wool - but I don't know
you do have to have something for the oil to condense on.

(and yeah the pressure relief is a good idea - not a big issue in Texas - but in colder climates - half of what comes out of the Provent line is water)
