    Oil Catch Cans

    Hi all,

    Did a search and couldn't find anything.

    I was wondering if anyone has fitted a Provent 200 (or Similar) catch can to their SDV8.

    Looking forward to some responses.

    Cheers, Craig

    My understanding is that essentially a catch can is already designed in all the V land rover diesels so an after market catch can is not needed.

    Well that was the consensus when these have been discussed in previous threads.

    Hi Jools,

    Hope you are well.

    I have fitted catch cans to all my diesel vehicles but not the Rangie as yet.

    Here is a good explanation of the benefits of a catch can...... Is a catch can important on a modern turbo diesel?

    Cheers, Craig

    Not sure how they could do this but I will investigate and report back.

    Cheers, Craig

    It’s only a vapour separator. If you have sufficient pathways you can achieve this in the original design.

    Problem is..... Most if not all diesel engines do not have this design.

    There are quite a few threads about catch cans for LR V diesels - do a search and you should find something.

    To be effective the filter media needs to be fine. Which means eventually it clogs reducing flow and effectiveness. In a Mann Hummel Provent 200, the filter membrane is to be replaced at 40,000 k. The Provent also has a well set up pressure relief valve. Mann and Hummel know diesel filtration. I suppose pressure relief could be built in, but unless the LR has a replaceable fine filter membrane it's hard to see how it could be particularly effective.

    I can't see how any modern TD would not be assisted by a good quality catch can.

    Cheers
