breather filters ph2 172

[ed_172_cup]

iv been advised by a mate to add a breather filter on the inlet top (straight after the throttle body) rather than keeping the hose and one on the inlet manifold (a hose usually runs down to the acoustic valve). what do people think?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i wouldn't

Stops oil getting into the engine and caking up on the TB i took mine off but personal opinion really...

on 182 anyway dont know ifs diff on the 172s

 

[ed_172_cup]

yeh well i took the tb off to clean it couple weeks ago and it was pretty filthy, thats would prompted the suggestion of a filter to stop oil gettin in. why wouldnt u fred?

 

[Fred@BTM]

because it stinks!

 

[mattjk]

What does?

 

[Fred@BTM]

oil vapour

fit a catch tank

 

[ed_172_cup]

fit a catch tank

how does one of them work?

 

[ben_p]

the crank case breather vents into the tank, it catchs the oil which sits in the tank and releases the vapor into the air or back into the elbow.

that way all the s**t and gunk sits in the tank and only the vapor is released.

I'v never noticed the smell before I just let it drop onto the zorst

Actually would it have any effect on the MOT?

 

[ben_p]

hmm shouldn't do, but if they go all eco etc. then there maybe a case of loosing vapor into the air, or dropping oil on the road which could be a hazard. but those are extreems

 

[mattjk]

I made a custom breather before which i will put on for my mot then just incase
