I have used one of these http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2332745deb price is bit more but you will still need to buy a filter for the one you are looking at.

Where do the pipes connect to? one from sump breather??

[Guest garyfelton]

I have a one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Breather-Elbow-Takeoff-Ford-X-flow-681F-SOHC-Pinto-/151190669496?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2333aa88b8 instead of the PCV valve, connected to the first outlet, the second outlet is for the oil filler cap outlet or as in my case, as I don't have a take off from the cap, it will be blanked off.

One with filter is better or air pressure has nowhere to go

Ask me how I know

So how much oil did you blow back up the dipstick?

[biksz]

funny i been looking at same one lol

[Guest Tiger78]

How does the oil drain back or don't you bother with that with the catch tanks? Catch and keep?

[tractor]

the catch tank should only fill with oil when giving it a damn good thrashing red lining it unless you are taking it to those extremes it wont have oil in it just oily condensation and no it does not drain back

Thanks - I was looking for one with a non return valve but that explains why I can't find one!!

I've done 1000 miles in my car so far and have yet to see any oil in my catch tank which has a sight glass to within about 1/2" of the bottom. I have a breather filter on top of the tank and you can see the vapour coming out as the car warms up. My tank is mounted on the end of the passenger foot well, halfway up the engine.

It is better to have catch tank breather higher than rocker cover ( see Burton Performance diagram)

Ideal catch tank would have baffles and wire wool in top section
