My JLT seperator connectors broke today. I literly just touched it and the plastic connector broke in half. I sent JLT an email. I've got pictures also. What can I expect now?

He will ship you new fittings and clamps

Very common failure with this part, poorly made and a lot of replacements have had to be given out.

Guy at the track tonight had one causing a vacuum leak at the threads where the top and bottom screw together, made the car surge at idle. Remove can, no more idle problem. Good part to avoid.

I have a question, does it matters which hose goes where? or do intake hose goes on the left and valve cover hose goes on the right?? Or viceversa. Thank you.

The intake hose should be on the left if you are facing the engine with the separator oriented to where the "JLT" logo is reading left to right. So the valve cover hose should be on the right.

Don't see why you should avoid the separator entirely just because the plastic fittings broke. JLT shipped out aluminum replacement fittings for anyone needing them the day after they were notified for free. Great customer service and a great quality product.

Also, with your friends, he evidently had a slice in the o-ring or was missing it entirely if you're talking about where the two can halves come together. Otherwise, with the o-ring in place, it's sealed pretty dang tight.

Got your email and replacements will go out today.

My, My Danner, you'll say just about anything to bash JLT won't you?
We use a thick O ring to seal the two halfs as well as some very nicely machined threads.
Too funny

It is kind of funny, because you try to act like things of this nature never happen, but it certainly did.

 

[Tucker]

Not at all, as you can see in these 26 pages of us explaining about fitting failures and what we are doing about it.

Never said it never happens, we own up to it, but we also take care of it everytime it does.

What I said is it's unlikely it had a vacuum leak at the threads to the tank due to it's construction.
It may have a plastic fitting that needs to be replaced and he can contact me about that

Funny how simple troubleshooting seems to solve all issues that are "manufacturer related" huh Jay?

Got your email and replacements will go out today.

Thanks Jay! I got an email today before I even got to work this morning; stating my replacement parts had already beed shipped. Awesome customer service!

Has anyone replaced their plastic fittings with brass units?

I replaced one of mine with an aluminum fitting. It broke on a weekend I was trying to go racing so I didn't have a lot of options.

I did. One of my original plastics broke and i replaced it with a brass one. Got the black aluminum one from JLT as a replacement but never got around to removing it.

They have aluminum? My elbow just broke.

they dont have a aluminum 90* fitting, I asked to see if I could get one so both fittings matched

 

[Bmr4life]

Thanks. I've already ordered some brass fittings from mcmaster that will be here tomorrow. They do come in a 90.

They'll work just fine. I wrapped the threads on mine with a bit of teflon tape just to be sure there was a fixed seal.
