vulcan bomber Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 It's a breather for the void under the boost diaphram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverik Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 If you're setting up extended breathers, then it should be hooked up to this one too to stop water filling the boost diaphragm... as it will cause the small pin inside it to seize solid.... ask me how I know this...

Snagger Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Good to extend it, but it needn't go far as the amount of air displaced by the diaphragm movement is relatively small.a six inch length of silicone windscreen washer hose bonded over the tube of that cap should suffice.

Snagger Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I think the same is true of most breathers - the amount of air transfer is small, so six inches or so of vertical (downwards) extent from the highest spot oft he breather would probably be enough for axles, transmissions and anything else. The only breather that would need to cope with a large volume of air would be a fuel tank breather of a vehicle which had the tank cap immersed for protracted periods because of the fuel level dropping; the rest just suffer thermal expansion and contraction, which shouldn't be vast. People get carried away with breather kits, especially the makers, thinking they all need to extend to the snorkel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
