PVC not necessary...do this
Right now I am using an electric fuel pump and a mechanical fuel pump in line with each other. I want to eliminate the mechanical because it cannot pull the fuel thru the electric pump if I exceed 2000 RPM's. The fuel line from the mechanical pump to the carbs is a solid stainless setup. I have gutted a spare pump and blocked off the lower half with a stainless plate to allow the fuel to pass thru the gutted pump to the carbs. I have wanted to eliminate the stock draft tube so I have installed a brass fitting in the lower portion of the gutted pump to allow for a 1/2" plastic tube (PEX) to connect to a brass fitting in the passenger side exhaust pipe. The exhaust passing by the brass fitting with cause a vacuum which will pull fumes from the interior of the motor.This setup will solve two problems and still appear stock.

Re: PVC not necessary...do this
Hi roger
Can you provide some more details of that idea? I think the idea is very sound. Thanks Jim |

Re: PVC not necessary...do this
Kahuna.....I am not sure what you need to know. The pictures should help with the explanation.

Re: PVC not necessary...do this
I think I get it, wold like to see routing to the exhaust pipe please...seems like a short piece of tubing to reach?
And how does it do at idle? |

Re: PVC not necessary...do this
Sounds like the tube to the exhaust pipe is like a 'wick' used to ignite blowbuy gas in the crankcase.

I know these "exhaust evac" systems exist, it's not quite as simple as what you have explained. The exhaust system has to confer with the evac, they only work when the exhaust driven "vacuum" is stronger than the check valve in the breather pipe part. It has to pull it open. I believe this system also needs some real nice tuned length headers in order to create this vacuum or negative pressure through efficient scavenging to work as best as it can. The exhaust needs to be moving fast in the right direction to do this, The angle of the sucky pipe needs to be right. Street driven flathead, how often do you think this setup will actually pull from the crank case? Not sure it will do a proper job on any street driven engine. It's designed for all out high rpm race situations. Martin. |

Re: PCV not necessary...do this
WOW my head is spinning. The red tube shown is just a sample. I have a longer piece which will be cut to length. I have Fenton headers on my engine. The connection point will be south (depending on which direction I park) of the header flange. The exhaust will not be hot enough to ignite anything coming out of the engine. Also there is an internal pressure that will seek an outlet so the exhaust suction will go hand in hand to remove any smoke product from the valley. The red tubing is actually modern hot water piping that has replaced copper or galvanized in house construction. Who would have ever thought that would happen. What is next ? Plastic electrical wire ? I will have to install a plug at the draft tube opening to seal off the system.

Re: PCV not necessary...do this
And do you really think that you can get it far enough back for an engine backfire not to effect it.??

Re: PVC not necessary...do this
My solution- removed the draft tube and plugged the hole with a frost plug, drilled the frost plug and installed a gromett to fit a pcv valve from a 283 Chev and connected the pcv valve to a vacuum port on the intake manifold.

Re: PVC not necessary...do this
There is no suction in the exhaust it's under pressure how do you think it gets out to the tail pipe.

Re: PVC not necessary...do this
Not necessarily true, think about how a home type grit blaster manages to suck grit out of the container.

Re: PVC not necessary...do this
I think Roger's setup would rely more on fairly weak exhaust gas entrainment than true Bernoulli vacuum. Accordingly, the tubing should be bigger and at least partly filled with stainless steel scouring mesh as a flame arrestor. Sealing off the road draft tube with such a system probably wouldn't be a good idea either.

Re: PCV not necessary...do this
I too thought of going with the one way valve, but it can eventually fail and I don't like the idea of running smoke into either the carb or manifold. What I will do is simple and never wear out. It is a by product of solving the pump problem and only works on that basis.

Re: PVC not necessary...do this
Interesting, the effect of the Venturi at the port of entry should be measurable. Most Venturis are designed by speeding up,the air flow over the suction tube. Since the need is to remove a gas it makes sense. I'm not an engineer, will be interesting to hear more on theory.

Re: PCV not necessary...do this
This system will have warm weak smoke meeting a hot weak exhaust. That should not need a flame arrester which is necessary when raw gas gets a spark.

Re: PVC not necessary...do this
A PC valve works on throttle off ,max vacuum ,like carb heat risers you may get the reverse ,a flapper valve and temperature gauge to monitor may be needed .Ted
