Catch Tanks - Saxperience

jeeves_101 · 30th September 2007, 13:25

right, i've done a search and cant really find what i'm after.

i'm looking at maybe getting an oil catch tank, but the question i have is - on the catch tank there are 2 pipes that come out the top, one goes to the rocker cover beather, so where does the other one go?

also, pics of them installed would be great. (rep will be given)

cheers peeps

the crankcase pipe goes into the oil catch tank which then vents to atmosphere through the top one usually

you can put a filter on if you want but tbh it doesnt ecatly need one on

Mine is in a pretty tight spot, makes it awkward to get the BMC off.

cheers people.

for those that have a square shaped one, what size is it? (e.g. 50mmx50mm)

cheers

Just been looking at a few Catch Tanks and Breather Filters myself. Just in
general so chill!!

Ive noticed that with the one I was looking at the come in a 9mm or 15mm
connector form.
So I imagine the breather filter you buy with it needs to be either 9mm or 15mm.

Does it really matter which size you go for?

Heres a few links:

Oil Catch Tank (9mm and 15mm fittings)

Breather Filter in 15mm fitting

Also does the dimensions of the breather filter really matter?

you want the filter pipe end to match the diameter on your catch tank - other than that it doesnt really matter

Cool, cheers for that Kam mate. Noticed you have replied to millions of these
catch tank threads already lol.

jeeves_101 · 12th December 2007, 10:57

as long as the ID of the filter matches the OD of the pipe you'll be ok.

or if you can buy one that comes as a full kit is better.

i dont understand where the pipes go from i have a pipe going from the rocker to the catch tanks and then back to inlet? and mine squirts oil out of the dip stick?

Alex^p · 3rd February 2009, 17:24

Sounds more like you have overfilled the oil and there's to much pressure.

landanimal · 3rd February 2009, 18:44

i have piper induction airfilter with a hose coming off that to the rocker cover and then another hose from the same connection to the inlet? where do i put a catch tank in this?
