PCV Valve

[JgenG]

Can someone please confirm that the PCV valve is on the other end of the hose P/N 26720 in the image here: https://genesisowners.com/genesis-forum/attachments/pcv2-png.13076/

Thank you

I'm making a mess of this thread.

If you are installing a catch can... the 'IN' hose on the catch tank is connected to the PCV valve (1472AV in your pic of hose 26720). The return (OUT) from the catch can connects to 1472AB on the plenum.

Also... as a member here set me straight. You need a multi layered fuel rated hose. I originally used some plain jane fuel hose and the fumes went right through it after a couple of weeks. I have some left over if you need some.

You've actually made it clear, thanks so much for your help Arcman.

Thanks again, one more question, what were the sizes of the hoses for the in and out ports?

The hose I purchased was low permeation 5/16".

I used transmission line hose for mine, worked just as well.

Hey arcman, does your catch can have a bronze filter, the fine mesh one like on the mishimoto catch can? just wondering if the bronze filter can increase crank case pressure.

Yes, and you can easily blow through it with your mouth so I'd say very little restriction. As much gunk that ends up in it, I assume the intake vacuum is greater than any pressure in the crankcase.

As long as there is suction/vacuum, there shouldn't be any build up in pressure in the crankcase correct?
