Abstract
An oil separator positioned in the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system adjacent the engine such that the oil separator is subjected to a predetermined minimum operating temperature. The oil separator comprises an opening through which the oil, fuel and water particles pass with the gas stream. The oil separator is constructed and arranged to cause the oil particles to strike an impactor plate and be separated from the gas flow while fuel and water particles pass on through the system and re-enter the engine.
