Read over and over the threads, what is the best one out there that does the job?
Eh?? you been drinking??any ebay oil catch tank but be sure to block the 2 pipes to the inlet up and let the catch tank breath to fresh air if you actually want to to be doing something. Lots of people see it has 2 pipes so connect one in and one back out to the inlet manifold which means all the oil vapour is still getting in there, robbing you of power and sooting up the VIS valves.
That looks fine but the piping that comes with it is no good.Cheers Paul,
So being daft i take it any tank is ok for the job then? can you just give me the yes or no on this one please :yup:

and how would i get the baffles in?
Thankyou :unworthy:That looks fine but the piping that comes with it is no good.
Get some of the black oil/fuel pipe from Halfords
The top of the tank comes off so 4 screws and bobs your uncle.
Dean this catch tank is fine,Cheers Paul,

Me too, don't forget to put some wire wool or kitchen thingys, can't remember what they are called!! Lol inside the catch tank, its those that soak up the oil!!:slap:cheers mate, be interested to see how much it actually does collect down the line :err:
It also depends on the oil.cheers mate, be interested to see how much it actually does collect down the line :err:
Well I've not got a drop of oil in my catch tank and the performance of the engine was noticably up when I connected it this way. If you look at any decent catch tank installation it does not reconnect to the inlet, its there purely to catch any oil blown off.Eh?? you been drinking??
Yes thats the same can I have, I used the 2 inlets one for each crank case breather and then added a 3rd pipe to the top to vent to atmosphere. I blocked the t pipes into the inlet up with some rubber blanks over the ends, cutting them off about an inch from the inlet.Cheers Paul,

Well I originally fitted a masher catch tank and it did the trick but was way too small.Fitted a full sized one now without any gauze or anything and one pipe in and one pipe out. It seems to work ok. There is this theory that the vapour gets sucked straight back out and another theory that no vapour at all in the inlet could lead to damage to the inlet system through lack of lubrication around the inlet butterflies.
Good post and i would say even with the baffle in its never going to stop all the oil vapour so if any lubrication is needed its still going to be there.Well I originally fitted a masher catch tank and it did the trick but was way too small.Fitted a full sized one now without any gauze or anything and one pipe in and one pipe out.
