Switching to RDT

After reading through the archives I just didnt find the answers I was looking for. The CDR valve functions similar to a PCV system on a gasser right? The RDT setup is just a crankcase evac hose with no valve? Would a puke tank with breather setup work to let the pressure out and let the oil drain back to the sump? A picture or diagramn would be worth a thousand words.... Please help! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

Re: Switching to RDT

You will be surprised at how little amount of oil you get out of a RDT (aka slobber tube). Seriously it's not much to worry about, might leave a spot the size of a quarter on the ground where you park after about 3+ weeks. This is with letting it idle for 15+ plus mins before work everyday. The vapros make you think it's got more behind it than it really does.

Re: Switching to RDT

We have an old detroit and an old John deere diesel at work and both as I recall have an RDT setup. Now these are old and poorly maintained and they slobber a lot. Thanks for the info.
