Subject: Tighten PCV hose connections, too
Comment:
Those refrigerator units found perched on front ends of food transport trailers are usually powered with gasoline engines some similar to automotive types four in line . Whatever is used , just be sure to keep the PCV rubber hoses clamped from end to end which usually mean more than 8 clamps . Do not use spring clamps...use aircraft type clamps.. if you are not sure what an air craft clamp is, ask around.. do not rely 100% on electronic emission testings as you know PCV is not electronic..it is the oldest anti smog device being developed for cars andtrucks way back in 1964 and they are still in use in today's modern cars.. So , do not get carried away with things being electronic and that anything else needs not be checked.. This is a fatal if not an advanced stupid mistake ! mechanics are not exactly green types as you know... they couldn't care any less. So it will have to mean that more than double if not triple efforts may be necessary to recheck to make sure that all PCV hoses are tightened at all time.. The last thing motorists need is loose PCV hoses not only in refrigerator units but all other automobiles and pickups, etc. PCVs is still the chief source of sooty smoggy air we see at sunset... simply because there is still millions of them on the road with loose or even slightly loose hoses.. Strict controls is in order ! Smog check stations should be clobbered for not doing more !
