So pill bottles don't make good PCV catch cans....
2 Attachment(s)
Yesterday I made a pill bottle PCV catch can. I used a small translucent orange pill bottle, 2 brass fittings from an old radiator, alittle tubing, and sealed it with silicone.
Today was my first time to drive with it on. I checked it after work and it looked fine. Then when I got home and checked it..... :eek: The bottle had been sucked in....I am pretty sure it is more due to the heat than the vacuum of my engine. (I tried to attach a picture) Anyways just thought I'd share.... Next PCV catch can will be located further from the intake manifold and probably alittle bigger (I made it small because I didn't want to hurt the engine's vacuum but that doesn't make a whole lotta sense anyways....):rolleyes: |
do those help fe at all i dont really get how they work eather
|
I don't think they really help FE that much. I know they filter the oil vapors out of your Positive Crankcase Ventilation system so that you don't burn them in your engine. I think they help cut back pollution some and I know oil isn't good for combustion. I tried it because I think every little bit helps.

sweet ill show it to my mechanical friend maybe he can do it for me

Heat probably softened it, and vacuum did it in
|
I haven't noticed a difference in my FE, but the car runs a little smoother now than it did a few months ago and has lower emissions, which is always worth the effort.

Haha, the same thing happened to my water injection tank :p Heat + soft plastic + vacuum... not a good mix :p
|
what does it mean when u are getting no oil in the can
|
No blowby. That is a good thing. But it seems like every car would have at least a little bit.
Or, your can is not working right. :-) |
