Thread: ProVent questions.

How much oil it filters is really down to how much it "breathes" thru the PCV line.
What you have in the line is pretty much normal. Mine took a while to soak it up but now fills a 20cm length of 13mm poly inside 3000k's.
Lifespan is estimated at about 1500hours operation but there are different factors that may shorten or extend that figure.

Have a look in the projects section as I think Isuzurover has a tute on an install in a Deefa that has a drain line tapped into the oil return.

Has anyone fitted or have pictures of a Provent fitted to a 300tdi Defender - squeezed into the space between the air cleaner, air hose to turbo and the engine?

Ideally if I fit one I'd prefer not to have to remove it / make the process of changing the air filter difficult ...

I'd also read that the length of the tubes connected to it doesn't matter - has anyone seen more exotic mountings other than behind the A/C Compressor?

The good oil has all the answers:

Yeah, already read through the linked threads, most of the installs are to disco's or Td5 defenders

Including these?

Yes, including those - I'd looked at them, and was calling out to see if anyone else has mounted it elsewhere, as those partially obstruct changing the air filter.

I read in one of the posts that the oil draining back from the Provent still contained fine soot particles which are particularly harmful.

So to me why go to the effort of draining/plumbing the oil back into the sump just catch and dump it?

The oil drained from the provent will contain no more soot than is already in your oil. More importantly, it will mainly be mainly the lighter fractions of oil which find their way to the provent.
