Think your good actually says outlet on the side and that hose goes toward valve cover.

Buy a new piece of hose at an auto parts store. Think i paid like 5ish bucks for 6 feet.

 

I buy in bulk normally. Wasn't ready for another order yet, so it is what it is - just used what I had laying around. Been fine for a year now, so not that concerned.

Yea I switched after I found out I did it wrong. It's not as pretty with them crossed like that and I might pull the zip ties off and redo them so it's better looking. It just went that way so I figured it was right. Good thing I asked lol

Anyone get a strong gas odor outside the vehicle after installing a catch can?

Post up pictures of your install.....should NEVER be gasoline odor if routed correctly.

I developed a foul smell and found a leak at one of the 90 degree screw in connectors. Pulled it out, redid the pipe tape and gone.

I just pulled the system off this weekend to verify that it's the can causing the issue. I saw somewhere about some early production trucks with leaking injectors, so I wanted to verify that wasn't the case. While it's off I'm going to re-seal all the fittings. I've also asked Elite Engineering for suggestions. Some reports were of cheap hoses allowing fumes to seep through. I just used what Elite sent with the system.

Mine never really smelled of fuel, it was a very foul oil smell. I can smell it when emptying the can so I knew for sure what it was. I did replace there hoses as mine were collapsing more than I was comfortable with. I went to autozone and just got transmission hose.

Did my first oil change at about 800 miles using Mobile 1 EP. The following Thursday I installed my catch can with about 950 miles. It's a week later with about 1200 miles and the contents had a fuel smell, but no smell outside of the emptied contents.

Just a little tease, I am going to be making some new videos with Elite Engineering products over the course of the next few weeks.

 

Stay tuned. :driving:

    • I included the first gen-cylinder de-activation (active fuel management) in my statement.
    • Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

    • Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
