Re: Catch can increases fuel economy
Again Again, that is one that I tested among others and it is too restrictive. Pull the filter if you will and add a fiberglass pad to replace it. You dont wanna try to breath or blow thru that filter, and when it gets oily, its MUCH WORSE.
Fiberglas mat for repair, a fist of airfilter fiberglas from a home filter, or another sponge material will be workable. Dont take it for granted, please question the church and suck or it used try to blow thru it to see what restriction your talking about.
The JEGS air filter is intended for water separation and such from an air compressor, thus the 150 PSI rating on the "globe". Please note the design and style of the combo air regulator and dryer assy for $15 bucks, sameo thinggy here: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=43242
THe JEGS 5 MICRON filter rating gives the deal away; a micron is one millionth of a meter which is 39.37" and therefore about 40 millionths of an inch. Thats small and there a terrific pressure drop in the intended application. Please redo the filter element, and do the search of the number of guys that were using this earlier on, with their posts that complained of issues.
