oilcan
Hello,
I wanna put a oilcan in my car its a 1.9di . I have 2 tubes 1 comes of the oilpanside to where the oildipstik sits. 1 comes as i can see good out of the side of the engine block and goes also to where the oildipstick sits . And the 3th one goes from the dipstick to the airintake hose. So should i with some kind of t-piece put the 2 of tubes the 1 from the oil pan and the 1 from the engine block to the oil catch tank and the tube that goes to the air intake hose on top of the oilcan ? I made my own oil catch tank from a small fire extinguiser

Not sure what your intentions are, and I can only talk about petrol engines, but it sounds like you're modifying the crackcase ventilation.
The idea is that condesated liquids drain into the sump oil via the bottom hose by gravity. Evaporations are drawn by manifold suction and burned away. The only benefit of a catch can which I can think of, is to collect the condensate instead of returning it to the oil. The top and bottom hoses vent the same space (the crackcase), so you'll need to plug the bottom hole somehow, and duct the top one to the top of your can, and vent the can to the manifold. What your can needs to do is ensure liquids fall into the can and not aersol themselves into the manifold as that would be bad news. In that regard, a can which isn't regularly emptied is far worse than what the car currently has. I doubt there's any measurable advantage. But good luck with your project. |

No need to fiddle with a catch can, as Mr Volvo did know what he was doing as the manifold is easy to clean.

Regarding crankcase ventilation, the story is slightly different. At flat-out, there is insufficient vaccuum to make any difference, save for a slight venturi effect. You'll still be getting a near-perfect air/fuel ratio. The crankcase is only really given any draw during decelleration conditions. The net result is more maintainance for you, and no actual power advantage. But that's just my opinion. |
