2012-2021 Ford F150 Ecoboost Cheap Dual Catch Can DIY

[@robertw0925]

You could also fit a spring inside the hose to prevent collapse

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

That would work well too. Good point.

[@anmol231]

How long is the hose in total for both driver and passenger side ?

[@Tauscher01]

Nice job! about to do mine too What a inlet and what is outlet on the boost side you didn’t show that in video Much appreciated!

[@joaquinpinon2872]

Well done, thanks a bunch 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@DANIAC262]

Echo boost. Interesting

[@martinzamora4854]

After installing catch can on boost side I get a check engine light, I’m not sure if it’s bad sensor or just crap hosing. Can someone help me thanks

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

What's the code?

[@bensutherland6871]

Hi I'm trying to find out if the pvc goes to the in or out of the catch can on the passenger side i have no instructions and want to be sure before driving Thanks for the video

[@danross4975]

How do you know if your hose collapses does it throw a code or can you see it?

[@fdurango]

You’ll get a check engine light immediately on your dash

[@a.scottdagata9274]

use fuel line instead and it won,t collapse. No pex needed

[@mamafratellisjeep]

Heater hose is not hydrocarbon resistant. It will eventually swell and soften up. Transmission or power steering hose would be better, and would also most likely be rigid enough not to cave in on itself.

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Good suggestions

[@alangates5941]

I had the same issue and just replaced the hoses that came with my kit with fuel hoses from Autozone. No more issues.

[@JASONHN]

What hoses did you buy?​@@alangates5941

[@waynefilkins8394]

Those cheap amazon catch cans now come with a new kind of hose. Anyone know if it's good enough?

[@alangates5941]

@@waynefilkins8394 For the difference in price of the catch cans, go for it. My extra hose cost $20, so all-in-all, it was better buying the cheaper catch can. My Ford F150 has a hard vacuum, which you may not have to deal with. That is what causes the cheaper hoses to collapse once they get oil and water inside them.

[@waynefilkins8394]

These ones don't have the filter so I was wondering if anyone has tested these cheap ones vs the more expensive ones with the bronze filters?

[@hientruong4074]

Do you have a gas smell after installing it? I installed mines and there is a gas/crankcase smell. I’ve checked and there’s no leaks, is it natural for it to smell?

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

No smell at all

[@kevinarnott9484]

Not clear on the boost side you didn’t show the in or the out , I’m not sure you showed the vacuum side

[@MB-jx1yq]

A good parts store and counter man will get you the vacuum hose

[@waynefilkins8394]

what about those ones on amazon with an air filter sticking out the top? Is that a good idea to get or can it cause a vacuum leak or loss of pressure or something?

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

This is part of the sealed system and that would very quickly trigger a check engine light and cause a lean condition

[@waynefilkins8394]

@@JackofAllMasterofNone Yeah that's what I was thinking since normally it's just that little sealed off vacuum line. I'm going to get the ones without the air filter then.

[@bhshakari]

How did you figure out that the hose was getting compressed?

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

There is vacuum and you could see the hose collapsing.

[@scottklawon8225]

Can you update on how.much oil you catch in boost side after 10,000 miles? I wonder if its worth the effort.

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

About halfway full. Its definitely worth it. Its more than oil. Its a water/oil/gas mixture of crap that would be all over the back of your valves. I check it at 5,000 miles at each oil change. 10,000 miles is way too long, especially on a boosted engine, to go between changes.

[@bruceadams3687]

Why doesn't Ford do this at the factory?

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Because they just want you to get through warranty They don't really care about the longevity

[@MrBirdHd]

This doesn't seem very easy or simple

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Relatively compared to most vehicle modifications. And way cheaper than a kit made to do it.

[@bhshakari]

If you can change your own oil and rotate your own tires, you can install a catch can. It's almost as simple as making pasta.

[@RayTuttle-of5qd]

And now you gotta put a puke tank on it the more I hear about these things the more I know I’ll NEVER own one what a POS

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Any turbocharged engine should have a catch can. It doesn't make them a POS.
