Since it seems that nobody else can see the images - I swiped them from John's Facebook page (the link worked perfectly for me, I dunno why) and stuffed them into my Dropbox, linked all of it here with his captions. Want to thank me, and don't know what Dropbox is? Get 2 GB of COMPLETELY FREE storage, automagically linked from an ordinary folder on your computer by clicking on this link: http://db.tt/EAx8lor The space will automatically synchronize itself with any device you link to the account, so you will always have access to the files there, from any of your devices / computers, OR via the website. It really is a great service.
Use that link above to sign up... And we BOTH get extra free space, currently an extra 500mb!
1: Started with 4" PVC fittings. the whole project cost about $30 vs. $160 for the Mann-Hummel CCV Filter
2: Hose barb and connector. The elbow and connector were CPVC not regular PVC so I had to use Marine Goop to glue it in.
3: Messy but functional
4: Took out the bottom 90* elbow and replaced with a 45 for less restriction
5: Stainless scrub pads for media to catch oil and soot
6: Glued felt to outside to minimize possible vibration noise. The duct tape and zip ties were only used to secure it while the glue was curing.
7: Here's the 45* input (Viewed from the bottom where the scrub pad would be)
8: Used teflon tape on the lid threads to keep it from sticking and provide a better seal. When it comes time to clean it out I plan on using a turkey baster. No need to get under the truck.
9: DIY Provent plumbed and ready for action. It fits snugly between the battery, brake reservoir and ECU. Its not going anywhere! The hoses and barbs I used are the exact same size and type used in the other DIY Provent canisters in the Lost Forums.
Some RTV would seal its fate...
