I think I paid $120.00 for 2m of that blue silicon hose. You need only 1.5m. Installation is a breeze, plenty of room there.

The Provent itself goes for about $200 plus post which is what I paid. Filters about $60, but you'll get 25-30k out of the initial one.

12,000ks and mine was blocked. About $70 to replace the filter. Lasting not as long as would have hoped !

Hi mate,
How and where did you connect the small dia. port at the bottom of Provent? If you plugged it or used too short hose and plugged the end that would drown the filter in oil. I connected mine to long hose and I drain it frequently.

I used a 1/2in line @ 8in long with a cap on the end. I drained the line after 5ooo km and it had 120mls in the line. The filter was not submerged in oil. I will be draining it every 3000km now in the hope of getting longevity out of it . Cheers.

Good find! Looks quite good, with a simple well thought out design. At half the price ( roughly ) of a Provent it is definately good value. The Provent does have a relief valve though, so if there's any pressure buildup it just vents to atmosphere, but this is a steal at the price, especially with the Aussie dollar where it is compared to $US right now!

Be interested to hear how it goes!
