Does a diesel engine have a positive crankshaft ventilation valve?
No, the crankcase ventilation systems employed on diesels are not PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) systems. They are CCV (Closed Crankcase Ventilation) systems. Diesels do not produce sufficient vacuum for a PCV system. They use only a crankcase breather which is vented to the filtered side of the intake ducting. The engine can "breathe" both in and out via the breather cap. The round black thing on the TDI valve cover is a breather cap.
Where is crankcase breather on Detroit Diesel engine?
on top of the valve cover
How does positive crank ventilation work?
The question should really be "How does positive crankcase ventilation work?" You can't ventilate a crank, it's either solid (roller bearing crank) or the only spaces are oilways. Positive crankcase ventilation, PCV, is used to prevent a build-up of combustion gases in the crankcase. The piston rings prevent most combustion gases getting down the sides of the pistons and into the crankcase but a little does sneak past. This is called 'blow by' and increases as the engine wears. If there was no ventilation, pressure would build in the crankcase and cause oil leaks and other trouble. In early engines the crankcase was just vented to atmoshere via an oil trap so combustion gas fumes and some oil vapour escaped into the air. Later, to prevent this, the crankcase was vented instead to a low pressure part of the inlet system. The engine then consumes its own fumes. Originally this was just a flow restricting hole to the inle manifold but complication has crept in over the years. We have seen one-way valves, 'gulp valves' and similar all intended to hold the crankcase pressure just below atmospheric and get the engine to consume it own fumes without upsetting fuelling accuracy. On diesel engines and supercharged engines a pressure lower than atmospheric can be created by putting a venturi in the the inlet. On a conventional gasoline engine the inlet is always below atmospheric pressure. Mark www.top-biker.com
What can cause oil coming out of the crankcase vent tube on a 2006 dodge cummins diesel 3500?
Engine over full, diesel in the oil, excessive blowby.
What would cause the volume of oil to increase in a dura max diesel?
Diesel fuel or coolant entering the crankcase. Either will cause serious engine damage. Stop driving the truck until you can have this repaired.
What is the reason for engine oil mixing with diesel?
If you mean that you are getting diesel in your crankcase then you have an internal leak in the engine and it could come from a host of places. The engine information is vitally important to lead you to an accurate answer... ie. Is it mechanical or electronic. Injector o-rings are the most common cauee that I have seen.

When did Rudoulph Diesel invent the diesel engine?
the diesel engine was invented in 1892 by Rudolf Diesel. the diesel engine was invented in 1892 by Rudolf Diesel.
Why does diesel pass to the engine in a f350 Chevy truck?
F350 is a Ford. Why is fuel getting into the crankcase? Dead cylinder and it is running past the rings. If that's not your question, rephrase it and ask again.
What happens when cylinder liner is crack on diesel engine?
first,you will have bubbles of air in your cooling system, gas leakage through the liner to the jacket water rising the temperature of the water . you might have water to your crankcase in case if the engine stopped.
Different green diesel and diesel engine?
green engine is 6stroke engine and diesel engine is 4 stroke
