## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Inlet and Exhaust System separator
-   2.358 kg
-   Listed for four TAD series engine applications

## 🔌 Function

Removes oil mist from the crankcase gases before they are vented or returned to the inlet, so oil is not carried through the engine.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Oil misting or dripping from the breather outlet
-   Oil found collecting in the inlet ducting or charge cooler
-   Raised crankcase pressure, pushing oil past seals and the dipstick
-   Element inside found clogged, collapsed or sodden
-   Drain line blocked so separated oil cannot return

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check the drain line is clear before condemning the separator, as a blocked return gives the same symptoms
-   Renew the sealing gaskets at the housing joints when fitting
-   Investigate high crankcase pressure at the same time, since heavy blow-by will overwhelm a new separator too
