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:

    • Conditions for Meeting a Cold Start   The ignition voltage is between 10 and 15 V. The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 75 kPa. The engine coolant temperature (ECT) at start-up is less than 42°C (108°F). The intake air temperature (IAT) is between 2–32°C (36–90°F). The engine is OFF for greater than 6 hours or the following conditions must be met: The start-up IAT minus start-up ECT are within 12°C (22°F). The start-up ECT minus start-up IAT are within 50°C (90°F). Fuel level is between 25 and 75 %.   Circuit/System Verification Verify that all I/M System Status indicators report YES, and that no I/M Test DTCs are present.If any I/M Test DTCs are set Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. If no I/M Test DTCs are set All OK. Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Set Procedure   Warning: Refer to Road Test Warning. Note: Do NOT touch the accelerator pedal until told to do so. A change in TP Sensor angle or an increase in engine speed may invalidate this portion of the test.   Note: An I/M Test DTC will not be stored or erased from the ECU except at the end of trip processing, which occurs 5 s after ignition OFF.   Ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start listed above. If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, perform the EVAP Service bay test if applicable. Turn OFF all of the accessories; HVAC system, other electrical loads, including aftermarket/add-on equipment, etc., and open the hood.   Set the vehicle parking brake and ensure the vehicle is in park for automatic transmission or neutral for manual transmission.   Start and idle the engine for 2 min.   Close the hood, release the parking brake and Accelerate at part throttle to 72–80 km/h (45–50 mph) with this speed maintained until the engine reaches operating temperature, 8–10 min.   Continue operation under these conditions for an additional 6 min.   Accelerate at part throttle to 90 km/h (55 mph) with this speed maintained for 2 min.   Release the accelerator pedal for at least 10 s. This will allow the vehicle to enter the decel fuel cut off.   Safely stop the vehicle, with the engine in drive for automatic or neutral with the clutch pedal depressed and parking brake applied for manual. Allow the vehicle to idle for 2 min.   Shift the vehicle to park for automatic and neutral for manual. Turn OFF the ignition and exit the vehicle. Do NOT disturb the vehicle for 45 min.   Observe the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Status with a scan tool. All of the I/M System Status indicators should display YES.   If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, turn OFF the ignition, ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start, and repeat steps 6-11 three more times, or until the EVAP I/M System Status indicator transitions to YES. If the indicator continues to display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table to identify the DTCs that did not run.   If any of the I/M System Status indicators display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table for the indicator which did not display YES. The I/M System DTC Table identifies the DTCs associated with each I/M System Status Indicator.   Observe the I/M Test DTC information with a scan tool. Verify there are no I/M Test DTCs present. If an I/M Test DTC is set, diagnose the DTC using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle and refer to Inspection/Maintenance System Check.   Observe the engine DTC information with a scan tool. Verify no DTCs are present. If a DTC is set, diagnose using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. After repairs, perform the Inspection/Maintenance Complete System Set Procedure to verify no further DTCs are set.       Looks like one procedure to me.  Repeated as necessary.
    • My 2020 AT4 6.2 has had the valve spring issue addressed at ~200 miles, front cover/pump replaced at 18k, water pump at 34k and idler pully at 65k.  I would agree with ditching by 100k unless you elect to go with upgraded hardware...say built 10l80 and an lt4 or l8p swap.
