Hi,

Has anybody experienced residue coming from the hose that comes from the tank?

I cleaned my tank today and there was a quite a bit of oily greasy waste in the pipe and on the filter at the end of the hose. The tank has an internal hose to the bottom of tank plus 3 stainless balls to clean it of any residue. Can someone help please. Many thanks.

You are much better having the outlet piped into the inlet pipe if you have a oil seperator rather than just a empty catch can.

You don't really get much piston blow by,especially if your not running high boost.

The vacuum pull from the intake pipe pulls the gasses/moisture threw the separator :)

Hi coskev,

Thank you for your reply. Do you mean with having a catch tank with separators in to run the pipe back into the turbo where at the moment it is blanked off.

Yeah.

The tank should 'catch' any oil/moisture as it passes through.

If the tank is just a empty catch can you can add some wire wool into it,then add some pipe so the fumes from the engine are coming in lower down in the can then the vacuum draw from the intake pipe at the top will pull through the wire wool and the oil/moisture will condense on it and then drip into bottom of tank.

Or buy a proper oil separator tank :)

Hi coshev,

Thanks for your replies. What is the difference between an oil separator tank and a catch tank with stainless balls of wire in and a pipe on the inlet going to the bottom of the tank?

If there is a difference can you recommend one.

Many thanks.

I've got one of the above on mine,used them previously on a Evo and it worked really well so put one on the VRS.

You can modify your catch can if you are handy with tools,just make it look like the one above inside so the fumes are passing through the mesh so the residue condenses on it :)

As some one who is currently rebuilding the back of the engine and cleaning everything up I think a catch should be fitted to all diesel cars.

Hi coskev,

Thank you for all your help it is appreciated.

No problem :)
