The Condensator
So guys, I remembered my dad threw a Condensator on his 1986 Ford Bronco w/5.0l AOD and his mileage went from 16 in town to 18 in town, any thoughts on these for an application to our engines? Its saying that they offer a model for international Diesel Engines, but because its a 6.9 or a 7.3, it needs two of the D models....all this can be found here:
Diesel
What you think? I emailed them with a bunch of questions, I will psot the response....

Looks like the FUEL ATOMIZER 2000 that I tried on my 90 F-150 with a 300. It did bump the mileage about 2mpg but it used the pcv system to run it, by using the vac in it to atomize fuel into the intake. It being the winter truck (r.i.p) I noticed it stated leaking oil, the next day when I came to a stop sing I heard the lifters started ticking. Opened the hood and the dipstick was sticking out about 5in. What happened was the moisture in the jar froze the pcv line and the motor blew 4qts of oil out the dipstick tube, so be careful in cold weather.

Looks like it's a filter for the PCV on gas engines and would hook to the CDR line on the 6.9/7.3.
With the amount of blowby some of these engines produce, the canisters would be full in no time.
Price is $199 each.

Same goes for my brother's bronco, nothing but good. Think it would be a worthwhile investment into our trucks? It would need two of them but I think it could work quite well.

Looks like another CCV filter system (CrankCase Ventilation) like the Racor system. But judging from the horrible labeled photo, they don't know their *** from their elbow about what they are talking about.
Its not a supplementary carburetor, and its not supplying fuel to the engine. It filters crankcase blowby to eliminate some of the oil residue from getting into the intake.
I'd invest the money in a Racor system which is a much better engineered design if I was going to spend that amount of money. I was looking at making a cheaper version, but since swapping my CDR, I haven't been burning, or leaking as much oil.

Well i know the Condensator works, the one on my brothers bronco has so much crap in it after 3000-5000 miles, we just unscrew the cup, dump it in a Jug, and throw it back on. It catches a lot of stuff, i think it worked great for us. The MPG's went up considerably.

I'm wondering the same thing. Seems to me, MPG would go down slightly, as you're not burning the oil. But perhaps that causes issues on a gas engine burning properly, where diesels would be happy with a bit of extra oil mist coming through the intake.

There is some kind of little filter inside the canister. Not sure how it really works though.
