How to Keep Fluids in your Rock Bouncer - Tech Tuesday

On today's Tech Tuesday Jake Burkey of Busted Knuckle Off Road Shop is going to teach you everything you need to know about Off Road Fluid Containment. Now we have see a lot of fires and fluid leaks happening at events recently and we want to help you put that to a stop. Not only is it dangerous but it is expensive since most of us run full synthetic fluids in our systems. The main concept is called the FATS system. Fluid Air Trap System is a way of trapping air in your breather so there is no way for fluid to leak out of the system no matter what angle you are out. For the rock bouncer and rock crawler guys that even means upside down! This is more in depth follow up to our Fluid Containment 101 Rock Rods Tech video. We hope you enjoy it and put this information to make your off road rig cleaner and safer. Remeber that a Fuel Tank Rollover vent valve won't work unless you are upside down use this system instead.

Thanks Jake!!

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

glad to help!

[@KOA_Nocturnal_Boozer]

Awesome content Jake! Keep the videos coming. Also please include the outtakes at the end of each one 🤣🤣👍👍

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

Most of the tech videos have the outakes at the end. That is our favorite part by far!

[@tonyfields5195]

Thanks for the videos! Keep them coming!

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

Will do!

[@rickmarquart3277]

Great explanation. Thanks! Awesome content. I'm learning a lot. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

Great to hear!

[@FiddlersBrew]

Very informative!

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CrawlingArizona]

Thanks Jake just I was looking for. Best description and demonstration so far. Going to update all of my fluid/vents like this. Had complete rollover on my roof a while ago in hard to recover area so it sat over an hour, lost all eng oil almost all transmission fluid. Had a gallon of trans fluid and about three or four quarts of motor oil but it still wasn't enough to get out of the trail on steep hills without trans slipping and oil pressure going to zero! May of burned up engine bearings.

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

this should help a lot

[@nealoverstreet84]

Outstanding video. Learned a lot!

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

Glad to hear it!

[@woodchuck243]

Thanks for the knowledge

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

Just trying to make everyone's off road adventures better.

[@oldschoolmoto]

great info

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

Thanks for watching!

[@ryanhubble9157]

Thats awesome I basicly fell into this when I done the fuel cell on my tj . Keep the good shit coming.ps still waiting on a free sticker 🤣

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

next time you place an order simply request a sticker in the notes and we will hook you up.

[@jaredbudzinski8434]

Super cool! The more you know

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

anything to prevent fires

[@TnADoStuff]

Thanks! Going to implement this in my Jeep build after seeing Jeepster McJeepFace kill his engine due to rollover!

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

good idea!

[@simonbar7665]

Big like

[@liberaltears6328]

Wow, learning from the best! Great video

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

Thanks, hope it helps

Hey Jake, how does the axle vent work? I can’t get my head around the straight up then down method cause if the car was upside down the oil would come down the line, hit the bend at the top (now bottom) and there would be enough oil in the housing to go round the bend and back up to the housing and out the hose, even if you went round again so the vent is normally at the top away from mud, water etc Do you run it side to side first or something? Or just rely on the filter at the end of the hose? Either way, great content, everything else was super easy to understand and awesome as always 👌

[@tomcompoli]

Would the PCV drilled into say a LM7 valley cover not still suck up oil in a roll over right into the intake? Should you run a loop around the motor, down and back up to the back of TB or intake?

[@gafrers]

Another great video. Any tests/experience with dry-sump systems? I guess they are out of the question due to higher cost, space, maintenance and complexity. I see Goliath is coming out Insane even down to that killer color.

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

Yeah very few run dry sump systems because of the cost and reliability.

[@gafrers]

@@BustedKnuckleOffRoad Thank you for the answer. Keep up the amazing work

[@turbostew8783]

FATS system is great idea but I would not terminate at the bottom, I would got to the bottom then uturn and terminate at the top. This would keep from sucking water in in mud holes....

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

we don't do mud holes

[@Shredxcam22]

Are you guys running dry sump oil systems to maintain oil pressure on these crazy hills and when upside down?

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

No dry sump systems for us. We use accumulators. They hold pressurized oil that is forced into the motor when needed.

[@jakeofallterrains9048]

First and foremost, it's an honor to be the 69th person to like this video. Turns out the second part was irrelevant.

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

glad you dig it

[@jonpaff5699]

Can you use the vent bellow in a street driven Jeep application?

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

Too much heat made in street driven applications for a vent below. Hose using the FATS system is the best way.

[@donanders2110]

What if you are running an ARB? Wouldn't the FAST system be your only choice?

[@BustedKnuckleOffRoad]

It shouldn't make a difference unless it is a vehicle that sees a lot of high speed.

[@donanders2110]

@@BustedKnuckleOffRoad appreciate the info! I was just thinking with the ARB you are introducing air into the housing, and it would need to go somewhere, making a bellows not work.

[@robreed6407]

@@donanders2110 An ARB doesn't pressurize the whole house.

[@CrawlingArizona]

ARB directly told me not to use those bellows . Could just be over abundance of caution on their part. With ARB lockers, if one of the air seals in the diff goes bad which does happen, it will pressurize the case. it's a good diagnosis tool when they're not working go over to the vent and listen you'll hear it hissing. A bellow would potentially blow out seals if it was strong enough & make it harder to diagnose.

Good stuff Jake !! Dig,n your channel with all you'r tech tips and high end parts and your shops top quality craftsmanship !! BUT,,,, some of us wear ear buds ALOT so PLEASE Tone Down the intro music at the beginning and end of you'r vid,s Please !!!! We're get,n alittle deaf,r in older age,s anyway...
