If I disconnect my tuna can on the turbo side, how much and what should the smoke (if any) be like.
Mine appears oily. Is this OK?

Thanx
Joe

Are you saying your smoke looks oily? I assume you mean your CDR looks oily. Have you looked inside that thing? There is nothing to it. Spray the CDR down with carb cleaner and you will be good to go.

The can has a light film of dark oil in it. & you are so right there is nothing to it

Thanx

could have swore i read about not putting any solvents in the tuna can as it will eat the seal that keeps the oil in the motor and the vapors in the intake.

X2 To clean it you need to use a mild detergent. carb cleaner will eat the components.

tuna can wont keep oil in the engine.
tuna can is not an oil separetor.
tuna can causes oil consumption.
tuna can is a membrane valve only.
tuna can is basicly useless when blowby becomes more than it can handle.

Tuna can is an open hole. I compared mine to a brand new one and it is a joke. There is nothing in there. I cleaned mine with carb cleaner (even though it really didn't need it), let it dry and reinstalled.

Jodean was correct.

Follow his directions, Joe, or look here (http://blog.heathdiesel.com/) under Crankcase Depression Regulator (CDR) valve.

I trust Bill Heath's directions and rationale.
