Thought i'd have a go at making a catch tank.Curious as to what is inside.the inlet and outlet must differ so as the oil can drip into the tank?.Anyone have a sketch or cut one up?

Just make sure that the inlet points away from the outlet breather to prevent oil passing straight through, bung a filter on the top and possibly a sight glass to let you know when it needs emptying.

so just a posh expensive can!

Did you pass sva with your sparco wheel?

use a fairly big breather pipe from the engine, mine is 11/2", it will reduce the amount of oil being blown out!

i need to add a catch tank, ideally this week, but the fitting on the engine is just a large hole. I guess i'll have to measure it and cram something in! The current filter alone cant cope.

Mine is plumbed back into the sump at the bottom where you would normally have a drain tap.

So no need for a sight glass or messy oil draining just make sure the filter is clean evey now and again

im just using a mini aluminium can (schweppes tonic water i think)

cheap and cheerful
