I need a catch can to re-plumb my pcv breathers, and I came across this. Help me.

i wouldn't trust those kinds of things on ebay, dont know about their construction quality, plus it doesn't look to have a drain.

just make one your self for $10 cheaper with a drain in it...

go to home depot, get a oil/water seperator that goes inline for a air compressor, put in some 3/8th's fitting and hook it up, it has a built in drain, filter and you can see when it it full alot easier then one of those. but its just my opinion and how cheap/McGuiver i am at times

My friend and I just found the PCV line that spits oil back into the intake (I forget where at the moment) and ran a long hose down to a frame rail with a breather filter on it.

I'd wasted money on catch cans before and it was just much simpler to do this. Seems to work fine.

BAM! I guess I just kicked it down a notch.

read my post in this thread for why this is a bad idea

that tank will probably work fine. If you want a little bit of bling. It's proably cheap chrome though, but who cares. Teh Greddy one doesn't have a drain either and unless you have a problem, you should very rarely need to dump that thing out anyway.

I have a perrin can. It has a drain but I couldn't drain whats in it anyways, too viscous and not enough of it.

Which lines can I run to the catch can? Just PCV lines?

What else would you run into the catch can?

Hmm... I read that other post, and I still didn't see anything that would make me think I did something wrong.

I've been running like that for many months, with and without A/C, and no problems. But it did result in a much dryer intake, which I'm happy with.
