You can repair small punctures with PVC cement, but the results will not be optimal. To repair a tire (inner tube), you need a solvent that will disolve a bit of the top layer of the rubber tube and the bottom layer of the patch. Then, as the solvent dries, the two, together with the added rubber in the rubber cement, become one. this gives a strong, flexible, air tight seal. The solvents in PVC cement fill the bill for disolving the rubber. But instead of a flexible rubber base, it's relatively inflexible PVC. Your repair will be air tight, but far less flexible than it would be with rubber cement. This may, in the long term, lead to stress failure at the edge of your patch.
Yes, a clogged PVC (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system can damage an engine. When the PVC is blocked, it can lead to increased pressure in the crankcase, causing oil leaks and potentially forcing oil into the intake system. This can result in poor engine performance, increased emissions, and in severe cases, engine damage due to oil contamination and inadequate lubrication. Regular maintenance of the PVC system is essential to prevent such issues.

To effectively repair PVC pipes, you can use a PVC pipe cutter to remove the damaged section, clean the area with sandpaper, apply PVC primer and cement, and then connect a new piece of PVC pipe using a PVC coupling or repair sleeve. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the primer and cement for a secure and lasting repair.
To effectively repair a PVC sprinkler pipe, you can follow these steps: Turn off the water supply to the sprinkler system. Cut out the damaged section of the PVC pipe using a pipe cutter or hacksaw. Clean and sand the cut ends of the pipe to remove any rough edges. Apply PVC primer to the outside of the pipe and inside of a PVC coupling. Apply PVC cement to the primed areas and quickly insert the coupling onto the pipe. Hold the coupling in place for a few seconds to allow the cement to set. Allow the repair to dry and cure according to the manufacturer's instructions. Turn the water supply back on and check for any leaks. Following these steps carefully will help you effectively repair a PVC sprinkler pipe.
