The oil tank has one vent hose connection and the neck has another...The top of the engine case has a hose port and the CIS unit has another. Which one goes to the top of the oil tank? Do I need to buy a "T" or something and send both of them there? I assume the one on the oil filler neck gets sent back to a container in the trunk, right?
Pics any one? Doug C |

If you have K&N filters they will each have a hole on one side of the "hat".
You can run a hose from the oil filler vent to a "T" and then into each filter. Most don't bother and run the hose to some sort of catch cannister, often a plastic bottle strapped in the trunk or engine compartment. Yesterday I saw a 914-6 conversion with a small K&N filter attached directly to the vent on the fill tube. Venting to the atmosphere does violate emission requirements, however it is commonly done. Oil vapor through the carbs can create problems there. |
