What it does is slowly emit burned oil particles (carbon) into the IP.

Yes. Until I went to a single tank system.
Also, on the tdi, when i replaced the top seal on the IP, i saw little gummy translucent pieces of stuff. Not much but was definitely a little polymerization. This was after about 30,000 miles of wvo. However, i did have some brass fittings in my system then.
I'll tell my friend what you said about killing his IP. Thanks.
