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

Pat Goss on motorweek just did a segment on catch cans. He has one on his camaro

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:

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
