Getting rid of the roll over valve

[theewarrior]

I used 3/8 gas line reduced right at the tank and works fine

weird....

Just decided to check mine, and its got a light coat on it like Mikes..

I dont get it....I check it every day and its dry, and now Mike posts this and I go look at mine and it looks like its wet. Not leaking but wet look....

Its like it must take certain amt of time.

Looks like I need some made for fuel/oil.

I just went out to re-calibrate my O2 sensor and noticed my heater hose is literally "sweating" oil out of it. At first I thought it was water condensation but it is not water. It is absolutely oil on the outside of the hose! Slippery engine oil.

I figured it would be fine being made by Gates hose. I bet some of these cheaper hoses are leaking oil thru them and that's why the oil coming from what seems the hose.

Its obvious to me now that heater hose is not made for oil. I'm putting my clear hose back on for the time being. At least it does not "sweat" oil from it.

Crazy....mine same, but it took many weeks! Was dry every single day including yesterday, now today its same as yours.

So weird.

Just spoke to Auto Parts local store.....Told me heater hose will eventually seep oil/fuel as it breaks down. Must be we all installed these around same time a few weeks ago and it took certain amt of time and now we all seeing this.....so weird as mine was dry yesterday but today not.

So he says fuel line is what I need, its a neoprene material. 3/8'' is biggest he stocks so he is gonna order me 4 feet of 1/2" as its pretty cheap, under 10 bucks.

I wonder how the fuel line will be near the hot turbo area? Is it as resistant to heat as the heater hose or should it be wrapped?

I am in the truck business and used power steering hose which is a high temp hose.

Glad you took these pics Dan.

Mine was even worse. Obvious the heater hose is breaking down. When I took mine off to go back to the clear hose, the heater hose was like mush. I'll continue to run the clear hose as it works fine for now wrapped with foil tape, but quite obvious the heater hose leaks oil and vapor right thru it.

Now we know where all the oil was coming from with that other fella that had oil on top of the tank in those pics.

I use 5/8" fuel/emission hose for my ROV valves. Fuel/emissions hose is oil resistant and won't break down/swell up when exposed to oil like heater hose will.
Most larger auto parts stores will carry 5/8" fuel/emissions hose in bulk.

Yes but when i let someone else ride my sled and they didn't attach the tether, rolled it on the left side, half quart of oil came out the intake filter, sled was still running, looked like i had the only 15 viper 2 stroke for the next few minutes while i burned off the oil.

How did oil get to intake filter? If plumbed like MPI does, it returns from breather to mag side near crank and not to intake at all??? Ask on a Random Thoughts conversation so we're not poaching this thread.

Add me to the list of oily hoses!! Checked tonight and my heater hose was covered like Dan’s after maybe 300 miles since doing the ROV bypass. Time to try some fuel line.

A REAL PROVEN rollover system looks smarter and less headaches every day I look at this thread. Wonder what else will go wrong with the plumbing job you guys added to your $15000+ sleds.

Totally agree with you!
Heard the doo 1200 has a good rov?

Four stroke solutions system is hands down the best solution out there. Doo 1200 I don't know. Haven't seen any off trail or ridden aggressively enough to ever use it.
