If you can mount it in a cool place it will condense better. Don't go mounting it by the exhaust manifold.
Have a part number for the lowes separator? All the HD and Lowes stores I find have air filters or regulators. I can find the nice oil separators for compressor setups for $100+ (commercial grade), but not the cheap ones. I tried an air filter (by accident) and they dont like vacuum, they were the cheap ones and relied on positive pressure in the canister to force the drain close.
I realized this after I had already bought the hose. Oh well. I kept the factory hose for when I need to take the operator off for smog inspection ( they will visually fail you for it here in Cali)
I tried explaining to the smog yech when it was on the mustang. He said "the state of CA doesn't allow this."
Elrup:
I found the same thing at Harbor Freight which IIRC that is where the original post said he purchased his. So, I bought a package of JB Weld and simply removed the spring loaded diaphram valve and filled and coated the hole with the JB. I did my install this weekend and it worked great.
One other find I made is that if you take the factory hose off, and cut it in the middle where you want the seperator to sit, turn the half that was attached to the intake around 180 degrees and you can use the factory molded bends and you won't have to buy any hose.
ERG80....how/what did you affix the separator to?
