New Provent Element - replacing the element - part 2

[@geoffroberts5641]

Thx for the demo. A small point. Burning hydrocarbon in air results in water and Carbon Dioxide combustions products. 1 Litre diesel burnt produces about a kg of water in the form of steam. When the engine is cool at start a small amount of that water condenses from the hot exhaust gases. That's where the water comes from.

Hi, what will happen if i have to keep both valve on the filter and cover?

[@tempestv8]

Double the assurance that crankcase over pressurisation has two possible routes to discharge. The new "internal over-pressurisation" design is to comply with environment protection laws, which make it illegal to vent crankcase vapours directly to the atmosphere. Which can happen if the filter element is sufficiently blocked due to not being replaced often enough.

Hi, what’s the advantage of having the internal pressure venting? I have the original external venting. Also, I’m getting a small amount of vapour/fumes exiting from the threads of the cap but can’t figure out why that would be.

Might have to change the rubber o ring on your cap.

No advantage, just bs emission laws don’t allow ventilation to atmosphere anymore 🤨🙄

[@DirectionPlus]

based on what you have explained your element is likely blocked there is no benefit of the internal to externally vented version or than legislation requirements

[@redballserectus]

The relief valve ( in the cap or bottom of the filter) will only open when your filter is blocked. This is caused by excessive blow by or you have gone over the recommended 40,000 klms. With the modified cap, you will not know the filter is by passing, so you may as well not have one fitted. So best change it when recommended. Note: if you have excessive blow by, the 200 will not work effectively.
