Saved 3 miles per gallon?

Is it worth removing?

No, don't do that.

Could be seen as misleading. As he states - This is a "Service Bulletin" for you.

Don't confuse with a factory TSB. It's not one, nor is it true. You will eventually ruin your engine doing so. What will happen first ? The engine will begin to use oil, - right off. Second ? Your gaskets will go.. Third ? Well isn't that enough ?

This isn't a service bulletin to fix gas mileage issues, it's a "how to" on the easiest way to totally screw up the engine. The PCV is there for a reason and it's not just another emissions piece. It wicks away contaminants from the oil like condensation you might know better by the name WATER. Wanna sludge an engine? Here's the formula- follow this morons advise.The PCV also processes blowby that happens even with a new engine. Just where does the pressure go with no way out? Yeah, it starts blowing gaskets/seals and oil leaks will abound. Wanna screw up the oil chemistry? Follow morons "service bulletin". They must have some bad water in Nebraska for this clown to be so brain damaged.

And his gas mileage claims are ridiculous at best. You don't get better fuel mileage by taking combustible air away from an engine that's designed into the fuel mapping. His engine must have been really screwed up from one of his previous "service bulletins" to even start and run with this "procedure" of his.

I've seen this guy somewhere before, providing us with something just as smart. I can't recall exactly what that was, -but it's not the first time.

He should be black balled then castrated,- live on YouTube. Commy bastid.

Normal intelligence should be required for access the internet/You Tube.

Initially I thought he has figured out some genius way to solve the plugging of the PVC tube etc., problem. Thanks for the warning.
