ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a method and apparatus for trapping and separating contaminated elements found in crankcase emissions that are released through a positive crankcase ventilation system of a combustible engine, the apparatus being defined as a canister having a reservoir chamber in which is mounted a ceramic permanent magnet and a separator screen, whereby hydrocarbons, crankcase oil and unburned combustible fuel enter the canister passing through the north and south magnetic fields of the magnet and are then separated through the separator screen, after which the hydrocarbons, crankcase oil and other associated metals are trapped in the reservoir and the intermixed unburned volatile vaporized fuel mixture is returned to the combustion chambers of the engine to be reburned.
