Title: quick way of cleaning out the breather Y pipe.
Post by: Ken T on 22 January 2012, 21:05:17

I was cleaning my breathers, and found the Y pipe was fairly well blocked. My son came up with the bright idea of using a compressor to blow the gunk out. This works very well, provided you don't aim the open end at anything. Imagine a load of mayo ejected at high speed, splattering onto a rag, its going to bounce back.  :D

He has managed to get the worst off his trousers  ;D ;D   


Seriously it is good, gets serious mayo out fast and the air flow blows it clean.
