This practice was stopped by DD many years ago. They now use check valves that are only open below approx 1000rpm and either just hang or a lot of busnuts drain them into a can of some sorts so the rear of the coach doesn't get oil on it. It shows how to plumb them in the DD service manual. Bill |

back into the oil pan ?? why would anybody do that, the "slobber" is unburned fuel,why would anybody want to put fuel in the oil pan?? |

Bob, I think that is why DD stopped the practice. It did get rid of a lot of the oil on the back of the bus though. LOL

instead of putting a return line into the oil pan which DD says NO big time as Bob tells you it is part fuel oil and crank case oil that has been over heated and is now slobber and must be removed from the engine. there is a system made to catch this slobber which consists of a round canister about 4 inches in diamiter with 2- i/4 inlets at the top , one at each end which you connect the slobber tubes to and on the bottom there is a vent pipe that goes up inside to near the top which is 1/2 in. and beside it there is a drain valve on the bottom to allow you to drain of the slobber. you can get them for any size DD. and are easy to make and they bolt to the side of the block at the oil pan. they work great you just have to rember to drain them. |

DD put one on my bus 20 yrs ago, never a problem, when i asked about the stuff going into the oil pan they said it was such a small amout it didnt matter, there are many that disagree. anyway thats my experience

I built one of those canisters for my 871 and it works great. Mel4104 has the description about perfect. Been installed for about four years now and have not slobbered since. Made it out of 4 inch PVC about twelve inches long with a couple of glue-on end caps and some brass fittings. Total driving time will determine how often to drain the canister. I also have seen an installation where the slobber tube(s) was routed into a clear plastic jug. Low tech, but it worked. |
