Roll over valves...

[Nuts]

What should I use to keep all the fluids inside the parts they should be in when I roll over? I'm sick of getting covered in tranny fluid every time I go out.....:mad:

Learn how to wheel better? :thumbup:

I figured that was coming:rolleyes:

im just glad someone else said it :eek:

Get the inline ball valves within reach as u rout ur breathers. Then when u rollover remember to shut them. After u turn ign off. Keep all ur fluids in

Was this a serious response?

I like getting covered in tranny fluid personally...

That's cause you are a tranny !

[yellowjacket]

Yeah serious.... I mean have breather vents too... just when u roll, shut ball valves right away when u turn off ign, pane, and everything else. Just remember to open back up before driving.

What u never heard of that?:confused:

rotflmfao!

[redcj3a]

This is what I plan to replace my fuel tank's vent with. I interpret it as a vent as well as a rollover valve. Don't know what the trannys think of it. Hope the link works.

How many ball valves would you need to do this method and where the hell would you put them all?

[Redriverranger]

I wanted some vacuum actuated valves like heater control valves to put in my PCV and breather vent lines, but I can't find any that are normally closed, meaning opened with vaccuum. I would love to flip a switch or just kill the engine when rolled over and shut off the path to the intake for the engine oil that seems to hydrolock mine or fill the breather full of oil. Anyone know of a normally closed vaccuum actuated valve for 3/8-5/8 lines? I would take several.

Just get some tip-over valves with the ball in them... seems easy enough.

And JAZ sells a bunch too, but they are more to be screwed into a fuel cell, not connected to a line.

[Redriverranger]

My rig rarely goes all the way over, although it does happen from time to time. Usually I am on my side, sucking oil out of the valve cover. I would like to be able to switch the PCV off and on at will.

[carwash]

Route that PCV to a ball-valve, that's what yellowfaggot does.

[jwend]

so YellowJ you have like 14 ball valves on yer dash??? :thumbup:

[carwash]

Yeah it looks like the city waterworks on his dash, he has 13 ball valves, 3 screw-type shut offs and a fire hydrant for flushing the system. He's waiting for his OSHA stamp of approval before he can enter the rig.

lmfao.. tuff crowd :D

[twiztedzuki]

i can sign off on mess of tipover valves if he needs!

[yellowjacket]

Y'all got me smilin. Wife looked over and asked what I laffin about.

I was goin more toward the transmission fluid problem he specifically mentioned. I been runnin a bv on tranny and tcase vent on my auto buggys for years. Got idea from randy torbett back when uroc was around maybe ten years ago or so. ( jwend that was an older rock crwl organization before werock got big....fyi :D)... lots of comp guys do it, I'm surprised it seems exotic to you. Most run bellows on axles, so not a issue there.
No wasent even ssugesting anything for motor... but redranger may be on to something.

Just throwin out remedies to his prob. Hope it helps!

Sorry Im not super comp savy... If you actually wheeled in the woods instead of a cpu or garage you maybe a little less comp savy too... haha. We build em to beat um not talk about it.. lmao

[carwash]

I just can't imagine trying to remember to shut off ball valves as I'm rolling over... let alone find them in such an instance. Anyway, if the comp guys do it, i guess it's legit...

Lmfao! He must have like 3 different special shut off wrenches attached to small chains on the dash so dont loose them when he rolls

[yellowjacket]

I can see my early reply was a little confusing. I dident mean as u were rolling over to start turnin stuff off. I meant for those of us that are hardcore enough, that have rolled enugh to keep our composure,.... when ur belly up, first u kill igition, shut off propane if its switched, or kill battery switch. Right? Right. Just add ur tranny vent and tc vent ball valve shutoffs to that sequence before unharnessing and exiting. Then in the few minuites that it take to roll ur rig back over u wont spill all ur tranny fluid onto the ground. And I'm sure alocking tranny dipstick is already in place, so keep on wheelin.

The line between right side up and upside down gets blurry sometime, and I don't go to harlan to putt puttt around and listen to the beegees on my bongo drum speakers like some do...yo know who u are:evilgrin:

What's wrong with with good music while your wheelin? Gotta multiple task man

You must listen to talk radio all the time...:D

[carwash]

How many times you been belly up YJ? A few dozen? 100 maybe?

[yellowjacket]

Maybe 12-14 maybe??? I know I lose tranny fluid until I put ball valves in. And that cured it:) adams lookin for suggestions, haven't seen any others brought up but when I hear a better one ill sure implement it myself.
This thread sure got off track:rolleyes: but its all right. Keeps me laffin

[carwash]

I made suggestions, linked to 2 different tipover valves... the spidertrax one at $12 is perfect. Costs lest than a ball valve and you never have to turn it on or off, it's self actuating. I bet the comp guys use them!!

[yellowjacket]

That is true.... what u use on ur ttc rig?. I will say that sometimes they aren't as leak proof as ud like though. If those are the ones with the little ball in them?

[carwash]

I used tipover valves with breathers on top of them to slow down any residual oil that might have gotten past the ball. I never had that rig on its lid tho, so i can't say how well it worked.

but, I do love ball valves. just for the brakes tho, not fluid retention.

[Nuts]

The ball valves don't sound too bad to me, like he said if you've been on your lid enough to know about this problem you are probably calm enough to reach over and shut off a valve. But I'll check out all the option listed...well all the serious options anyway;)

That there is some funny chit.

[Nuts]

I've deciede to get the spidertrax valves but lastnight I found out that the trans fluid that covered me didn't come from the vent. When I flipped saturday the downey offroad adaptor ripped off the back of the T350:mad:

[humpy]

Black rtv will fix that leak
