Others have used similar separators. Post pics when you get a chance.

I saw a how-to for installing one of those on an SRT-4 a while back.

Cue fAstAr jokes. :roll:

That thing looks like it will be badass. You could hook it up to turn on a light when the filter needs changing. :lol:

yeah this one only has a mechanical indicator on the top that goes from very green to very red. I had to remove the micro filter though because it takes atleast 20PSI to flow anything through it.
My only concern with using this off my 3/4" crank vent is i have to drop it to a 1/2" barb with a 3/8" ntp fitting that im choking my motor. any ideas?
