Do you have details of this heating trace that you designed?

if this combats freezing adequately and puts the required vacuum on the crankcase, then yes, it's a perfect long-term solution. i would buy one - the packaging is fantastic on many levels.
if it doesn't combat freezing, i might still buy one and apply my heating solution.
yep, my protoype setup is here:

Yep, I went through every detail on that page and was going to send it to you, but figured it would be better to create a thread and make our technical ramblings on this public.
The drain all the way back to the oil pan is confusing to me too. Until you hear back from them, we'll have to assume that they tried draining to the filter area and found that adding a port to the filter housing created issues with the flow of oil through the filter.

In CA they open your hood and check things out. I'm not sure why it wouldn't pass as how the heck would they know what that is?

i just spent a good 30 minutes on the phone with gary @ G.A.S.....
long story short - he is an awesome dude and is 100% committed to this system. he really has spent 3 years R&Ding several iterations of this system on his own personal car (E39), and after talking with him i am convinced it will be the right solution for me too. lots more details to come! this really is a no-compromise system and will solve all issues present with the factory CCV system.
also, apparently with a PCV system it can suck air in THROUGH the rear main seal, which as you can imagine couldn't be a good thing, especially in a dusty environment. his system will draw more vacuum that a stock CCV (about 1.5x), but not as much as what i'm running now. also, it filters the oil out from the air so well that effectively zero oil is making its way back to the intake - i mean, even on my system i am getting oil in the intake.
the drain-back works well and due to the aforementioned filtering, no condensate is going back to the pan. now THAT is good news.

Just caught up on this... once GAS has this for sale I may just pull the trigger on this....
Nice, thanks for making the call. I was very impressed with the DISA kit they made as well.
