Is there any type of sealant that can be used in that type of application to stop any leakages.
Also wondering if a less then airtight catch can system could be bad for the system as a whole.

So any silicone sealer will be ok with oil / heat? Cool.

Cowboy Dave wrote:You've left me a bit confused there I have to say. You say the hose from air intake to rocker cover is 19mm ID. So shouldn't the barb on the block and the barb on the intake both be 19mm or thereabouts OD on that logic? In which case why would the 'receiver barb near the airbox' be 22mm ID and why would you need ID when talking about a barb - again should it be OD?
Not having a go or anything but I am having trouble making sense out of all of that so unless I'm being particularly dim (entirely possible this time of night I confess) others may also be similarly confused.

Sorry guys I thought I mentioned my rig is an 2006 ML and they are the sizes you have to deal with, 25mmOD both barbs on the provent, reduce to 19mmID hose direct fit to rocker barb at 19mmOD, however the barb on the airbox/intercooler pipe is 22mmOD which takes some double hosing to get it to reduce to fit the 19mmID hose.
(No wonder the manifolds coke up and the intercooler must be full of condensate as well)jrs184 wrote:My Provent is working a treat, I used long hoses, from the mount near the fuel filter away from the turbo side with wide slow curves to give as much cool down/condensing time as possible, and have found a great way to save on expensive replacement filters. On week nites or other times when not driving, I tried this first just over nite then for 2 days and the results are amazing. I took metre of kitchen towel, doubled it length ways, rolled it around the filter, it fits around the filter exactly, held it in place with 5 rubber bands, to give it a bit of squeeze over time, and taking it out the towel is completely soaked with black oil and condensate leaving the filter looking white and like new again. I don't recommend leaving the towel in there as you need as low as possible pressure in the can and the paper altho' absorbent is not as permeable as the filter. This way I am cleaning the system as regularly as I check my other fluids etc.
