Slobber Tube Fixed The Right Way!

[bumpersbird]

After a lot of research & web surfing. I found two alternatives for
the slobber tube on our coaches. When I bought my coach I had
overheating problems. 95 WBWL 42' with the Detroit Series 60. The
radiator was so packed with oil and dirt it looked as if it had been
stucco'd it was 80% covered, not a good thing! After a wash out it
cooled better. But it didn't fix the cause. Oil vapor from the
slobber tube. Vapor is vented from the top of the valve cover on the
Series 60. I believe the 8V92 and 6V92 also have 2 vents on top of
the motor. The fix is called CCV (closed crankcase ventilation). Two
companies make these filters. Walker Airsep & Racor. After my journey
through cyberspace I found several websites that deal with diesels in
large pleasure boats.http://www.deiselboat.com I think it was where the best
info came from. These guys are running two motors up to 16V92's in
enclosed compartments. Anyway long story short. Most of these guys
have chosen the Racor CCV6000 series. Several switched from the
Walker to the Racor that is why I choose the Racor. Not to mention it
was half the price. I paid about $370.00 for the filter and the
hoses. The system from Racor has more features,(Saftey Features, it
will not let the internal pressure of the engine go beyond specs),
and they are a large company with lots of tech. experience. The
system works like this. A hose is connected to the vent on top of the
motor, it leads to a filter that separates the coalesced oil vapor,
the oil is returned to the crankcase and the remaining volatile vapor
is routed back into the intake system to be burnt in the engine.
Clean, fuel efficient. Simple! All new diesels have these systems '07
EPA and all that stuff. Anyway I'll let everyone know how it works
out this week going on a 1500 mile drive. If it works as advertise no
more oily film on anything! Service life of filter is up to 750
engine hours. New filters are about $35.00. Open the filter drop it
down drop in new filter element, close the 4 clips and away you go. A
far supior fix than any catch can!
