When doing the above mentined.. i should warn you guys as this longer hose can freeze up on the end (If you life in cold climates) and then you might have larger problems..
I think if you extend it too far your asking for trouble. The breather is supposed to vent to atmosphere. Any restriction you are going to damage seals. Be careful how far you run that hose.
