jlift,
I didn't think to take any pictures while I did this as I was experimenting as I went, and it's not worth ripping everything back out for it. It's not as complicated as it sounds, though. It's just that the little Husky filter I found at Home Depot has a little nipple at the bottom that looks like it's intended to be the place where fuel exits from the filter. It has a built-in petcock in the form of a flip valve but of the 3 filters I checked at the store none of those petcock valved worked worth a crap. To counter the chance of any captured oil draining out of that nipple I used like 10mm of tubing from a drip sprinkler spike (it's just a semi-rigid plastic tube about 4mm in diameter) which attaches to the nipple on one end and hosts what's called a "goof plug" on the other end. A goof plug is just a little roundish piece of plastic that is used to cap lines like this, or to plug a hole in a large drip feeder that you didn't intend to make.

Due to being a hypermiler my driving style is much lighter than most folks, but I have still managed to capture about 3ml of fluids in 500 miles.
That's a small amount of fluid, to be sure, but only about half of it is combustible. This means that even if it doesn't end up as gunk on the throttle body or exhaust valve it still becomes raw emissions. While 1.5ml of non-combustibles per 500 miles doesn't seem like much, I'll be looking at 60ml per year over 20,000 miles. That's 2 ounces of crap that I won't be spouting out over Mount Rose and Lake Tahoe each year. That can only be a good thing.

This save a little pollution. But so does many other things that nobody will think about or sacrifice. Any one in here giving up beans because they add to green house gasses? This is about the same amount of annual savings. Recycle ONE extra aluminum can and forget about this. More benefits |

I add it into the oil recycling container that I maintain for doing my own crankcase, transmission and differential oil changes, which then gets turned in to my local Kragen (auto parts store), who runs a recycling program.

Okay, can someone clear this up for me? Ogre calls it an air cleaner for a compressor, BailOut calls it a fuel filter, but it's obviously the same item, and I can't find the stupid thing anywhere because I don't know what isle I should be looking on!
I need this for my motorcycle. I have a rigged version right now, but it consists of a T'd off hose with the lower branch being capped off (to be drained at intervals) and the upper branch ending in an air filter. It catches some of the stuff, but some of it is in gaseous form and condenses in the filter, which results in drippings! This looks like it'll do the trick. Thanks! ~YR

YR,
The one I got is labeled "Husky Compressor Fuel Filter" and I found it at Home Depot at the end of the aisle that contains compressor parts and accessories. It's not the same one that Ogredude used, hence my rigging of a nipple block. I tried to find the same one that Ogredude pictured but they only carry one kind of this item. I suppose it really doesn't matter what label the thing has on it as they all do the same thing... use gravity to capture fluid as it passes via an overhead tube. If your Home Depot is set up like mine it's two aisles to the right of the hand tools.

Bail, thanks for the info. I finally tracked down the air line thingie that Ogre used at Home Depot. I looked for the fuel filter you got to compare the two, but my HD didn't have it in stock.
Can't wait to rig this up on my bike! Thanks again! ~YR

this is the type of filter im talking about http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...ctId=100027474 The 2 female to male nipples i used were 3/8" for a snug fit with the yaris hoses, so see if they fit in that 1/4" one before you buy it |

Hells Yeah!

I just picked up one of those tonight, hopefully I'll get a few minutes tomorrow to get it installed.
I had the intake plenum off my Chrysler Sebring several times replacing plugs and wires, and after seeing how gunked up it was, I want to keep as much stuff out of the Yaris' intake as I can.

Barnacles! I did this. My only thing to add to it is this:
You may have to cut your engine cover to make it all fit when you're done. I cut mine nicely and you can't even tell I was messing around. Someone else had done this as well, and got their own custom line. Do not get regualr air line as it will collapse! You need to buy an oil/gas line if you want to make and re-route your own. P.S. Awesome mod, a little under 500 miles and I've already collected some oil. Agreat DIy that you can instantly see the result of!

I agree with Sodium Duck completly,I just got a coupon from Toyota for $99.00,they will clean the Intake system ( what that means,who knows?),they clean the injectors (they actually state in small print "Injector cleaner added to fuel),I can do that myself for $5-7,and they clean the throttle body,which this DIY prevents all together.So what Im saying is for about $45.00 and some time,you could save that $99.00 Toyota cleaning BS for the life of the car.Enjoy.

Oh, not another one "i also inveted a wheel"... in the line with those $5 inline gas savers.
The oil vapor is circulating in the PCV "positive crankcase ventilation" system. Now you are just collecting it for some reason. Why not start condensing moisture out of all air inside and outside the car and then praise the device for the "unwanted" water it "trapped"... |
