Thanks, does this allow you to drain fluid from system and do you leave factory trap in place?

[True Blue]

Eliminate everything from the existing system right from the engine
outlet up. Then install this to your K&N filters and the rubber marine
plug will allow you to remove any fluid when needed.

Use a 1" Bit to drill holes in filters, fits snug.

In my experiace with heater hose over time it will hold up to oil (I was going to say swell but figured it wolud be taken the wrong way ) The oil from the vent may not be enough in this case , just an observation.

 

[True Blue]

Hey Pinball, alot of things swell so don't worry in this case
it will last a long time. :shock: :shock:

I know what you mean.

What is that in your hand in the second picture? I would think the drain would have to be the lowest item in connection.

Thanks

[True Blue]

Thats the plug for the bottom end hose that you can remove to drain
any fluid. Just to show what it looks like.

drain

So what are you draining? Oil or condensation?

One thing I really dislike about this solution is having to drain the water on a regular basis.

Has anyone looked at installing a one way valve that allows fluid to flow out, but nothing back in?

If you use a large enough valve it should drain on it's own every time you shut the engine off and likely there are times when running when there isn't a vacuum in the pipes also.

I wonder if simply a 1/4" one way vacuum line fitting, like the ones often found on power brake boosters would work.

You could even run a line on the other side down and out a small hole in the belly pan so your engine bay stays cleaner.

Condensate drain lines used on cars with A/C could be used. Chrysler uses ones that would tend to act like a one way valve.

I think that type of valve will end up freezing and not work anyway.

I would assume the engine's heat would melt any ice out of it on a regular basis. It would have to handle ice build up once in a while though - probably would have to be steel with a steel ball or something.
