Got this idea from reading posts and solutions other members have found, while looking for my solution.
First I use just what was laying around. Then I drilled out the pressure release ball and spring on the top of the oil filter mount. (Not the mount for my engine.) Grabbed an oil filler neck with the large opening. And used a piece of fuel vent hose in the bottom of a $10 breather Put it all together Cut and added 2 fuel tank, fuel line hose nipples. With a little epoxy. Thinking this is gonna work real well A view of the passageways in the oil filter Mount. Need a good location to mount it Locate my holes Drill them out And mount Install filter Good use for a Bosch filter The breather can vent out the grill, or I could run hoses back to the carburetors Close up Use heat to bend in form fuel tank vent hose Securing it while it cools And it holds its shape Need to get the hoses to the fuel line nipples Couple rubber grommets And they slide right in From the backside, Inside the wheel well Hoses attached, The diameter of these pieces all work together. Above view Eh! Venting location All done One hose attached to the filler neck, the other attached to the oil cover box below the filler. And I ended up using another fuel nipple to a different oil filler without the large opening, it was too large for the hose to attach. I have traveled 2500 miles with this set up, the amount below is from a 500 to 600 mile trip! A lot of moisture. 99% water that didn’t go in my engine.[size=4] |
