Catch can for CCV mod
Since it is possible for the CCV mod tubing to be blocked by oil and condensation, I'm thinking about a catch can. Mine if routed all the way to the back bumper, and the routing along the chassis is just a huge elbow where oil and condensation can build up.
Has anybody done one? You think this is necessary?
I don't want to blow any seals if it gets clogged.

My CCV mod is completely reversable, as I have kept all the parts on a shelf in the garage. If they ever start testing diesels here in Southern California, I will put the engine back to stone stock before taking it to be tested.
If they ask what that 18 foot hose is for, I'll jes' tell'um it usta' be for a condensate drain for the A/C, or sumptum.
Then, after the test.........

The mustang guys do this. The link is for the tail end of a writeup by one of the sites mechanical engineers. Also many guys use either a steeda or an air compressor style air/oil seperator. If you do some research, you may find one with large inlets and outlets for a reasonable price. The auto performance ones are overpriced.
This is just a catch can version, not a seperator below.

So they wanted me to pay them a bunch of money, then have it tested EVERY year (more money to someone else), and then pay them a bunch of money each year it didn't pass. Plus, once declared a gross polluter, even if I got it to pass, they would STILL require annual testing for the next 4 years. I added up what it was going to cost, how much trouble it was, and I decided to part out the car.
They have this wondrous mechanism in place that lets you drive almost anything, IF you pay them enough money.
Now, I own three vehicles - the wife's Honda (a ULEV vehicle that, supposedly, tests better than spec, unless there is a serious problem), a 7.3 diesel, that doesn't get tested, and a 1988 BMW motorcycle, that also doesn't get tested.
I'm enjoying NOT having to deal with them so much.
As for the CCV mod, I really like the idea of routing it into the exhaust. But, I'm going to set up CCV/exhaust routing that can easily be reversed to stock functioning - just in case they decide to start testing diesels here!!

I am thinking of a T fitting that connects the CCV hose, and the third opening of the T can be used for the dump. Sounds simple enough. Something that comes to mind is a T flush for the radiator. Open the cap once in a while to let the oil and condensation out. If you got 2 low spots, you can use 2 T's.
