Got the exact same one, make sure though that you insert some sort of filter inside (at te top) so the oil vapour can condense and collect at the bottom.
*edit* I used steel wool

Depends on your technical skill, since you are asking this question I think it is safe to assume that they are slim to none...
Mount the tank where you want it in the engine bay, run a hose from the ventilation to the tank and you're done. (may want to place a filter on the exhaust of the tank)

Do what the man above says, those cheap tanks are just empty. I bought a very similar one and filled with SS wire wool and used a pipe from the inlet port down to the bottom then put a filter on the exit pipe

I have got technical experience just not with these. Cheers for your advice though :)

you're welcome, good luck. (post a pic when you've got it fitted, for future reference ;))
