==Alternatives==
 +
* Road draft tube: should be avoided
 +
* Venting to the exhaust: instead of feeding the crank fumes to the carb, and hard line can be run to the exhaust. The escaping gas creates a low pressure enough to draw the fumes out of the engine. This is a slight improvement on the road draft tube, but complete burning of the byproducts will not occur. Deposits on your exhaust system is likely and if you go this route be sure to plumb the line downstream of any catalytic converts and O2 sensors. The EPA will not like this and is more than likely illegal for street use and will not pass local inspections. Check your applicable laws before proceeding.
