What does the filter actually filter, I ran a hose all the way back to the exhaust and ran into the exhaust pipe. I was just curious as I am getting tired of te rubber tubing running all the way back to the rear of my truck.

 

Great write up and pics Chris!

 

My thought is the filter trap will grab any liquid oil vapor that makes it way down the hose. The copper scrubbers won't act like a restriction so it will still breath freely. It's just a trap. My initial thought was to use a single spin-on oil filter base with a cheap oil filter for the trap but thought it would restrict air flow too much.

 

with the filter element does it still smoke a little or does the filter eliminate it.

 

So far, it didn't smoke at all, I only drove it for about a half hour yesterday but got on it good. I could smell a little oil residue but no smoke. It exits right between the driver and rear door. I'll update everyone if this changes.

 

Thanks buddy. Glad to see you posting.

 

Great writeup Chris. Reps sent Your way..Do You think using something about 2" will work the same?

 

nice jobe, good pics

 

I would take it out of the exhaust. Other than that, I have no problems with my hose that dumps at the rear axle. Never a drop on the driveway. I am not tired of my hose, don't even really think about it unless I look in the wheel well to make sure it is funtioning as intended.

Nice work Chris. I am with the other Chris, put the connector back on the bracket.

 

Chris,

That's the nicest I've reviewed, and will likely be the one I eventually duplicate.

Very clean, and well-written and illustrated, plus a comprehensive parts list.

You may have set the standard for this mod. Nice work!

I have no scientific reasoning for a 3" dia. filter housing other than I wanted something that the pot scrubbers could easily go into and have plenty of room to catch any rogue vapors that made their way down the tubing. Plus, it might be a little easier to install the barb fittings on something a little bigger than the 2".

 

Thanks Pop. Very much appreciated.

 

Nice touch on the CCV mod Chris. I'm planning on doing this mod this week or weekend and I'll be another one copying yours. Reps comming!

 

Thanks again guys. Nice to get the parts off the workbench.

 

Great job, Chris... exactly - EXACTLY how I've been planning on modifying my oversized monster trap. I even have the stainless pot scrubbers on the shelf in the garage just waiting for that one final component that is the hardest to come by...
