Once the weather breaks in Wisconsin for good (pretty soon) I'm going to attack my ccv reroute...conventional aftermarket kit on the valve cover, with the six feet of hose and its going to be tapped into a home made 4" pvc pipe with caps on each end mounted under the cab vertically, top cap will be drilled with vent holes, a 90 degree elbow going into it and the bottom cap will have a drain **** installed. Unit will be approx. 4"-5" tall. Pics will follow.
I made the catch can, used pvc tubing and painted it black. The ccv hose will connect to the can at the elbow, vent holes are drilled in the top cap. Not sure where I will mount it yet but most likely under the cab, keeping it simple. Next will be to install a brass drain valve and a mounting bracket. If I need to make it larger,.... I can. Currently the capacity is about 20 oz.
Once its all together and in, I'll post more pics..........tomorrow and Wednesday we're getting more snow, 6" to 9" of the crap then road salt...again. (So it might be awhile).

are you going to put steel wool or something in the tube so that it will catch oil. Do you have an inner tube that descends into the outer tube .

Great job. Curious to see how it functions and works for you. I don't think you'd have an issue when the truck is moving, but if you mount it under the drivers seat, you may pick up some odor from the vent holes I'm thinking... Good luck with this Jim...

Nah... Bomb pipes are made of metal pipe/caps...
Maybe leave it white then?
Reminds me when I found what appeared to be a hand grenade in the middle of one of our side streets in town... Yep, I carefully picked it up, wrong move I know, and carefully placed it on the side on the grass...
Called our County Sheriff's and they got one of their bomb techs out who placed it in an explosion safe box to dispose of it. Turned out to be a live Jap WW2 grenade.
He told me not to feel bad and to NOT do it again but also stated another local agency officer, who remained un-named and unknown, found one and placed it into the trunk of their patrol car and drove to their station with it...

No on both questions, its mainly a trap (for the liquid) so I don't leave oil spots on the pavement or my driveway, directly from the hose itself. Back in the 80's we used these home made types on our race bikes (Formula 2 Super Bike), we were not allowed to have just the hose and leave drips on the race track. Most used a small plastic bottle that a kid would have to blow bubbles...in the metal lid we drilled holes to vent and screwed it back on with the ccv tube stuck in it. From time to time we would have to empty it and reinstall. Thats basically what this is only bigger.

Funny, I do the same thing on my Harley. Got a small aluminum bottle mounted low on the frame, with a threaded drain plug on the bottom. I just open the drain occasionally to let any accumulated liquid exit into an empty oil bottle I keep in the garage for that purpose.
Just to give some perspective on the difficulty of removing oil vapor from crankcase air. CCV white paper
Yeah, lots of variables affecting flow of vapor, and in this study an example of how to scavenge oil comparing two models. Goes to show the Japanese put a lot of study into engine design, for sure.
However, it just reinforces my decision to eliminate the issue completely with the bypass.

Mine too, this wasn't an issue until closed systems were mandated.
