Thread: Oil catch can question.

Awesome info. That hose u added...u put it on the inlet and inside the can? And u need to put rtv on a few of the seals on this one anyways cause I put low pressure air thru it and there's a couple small leaks. But the stainless steel doesn't get sucked back thru the return outlet? I appreciate all this info its expanding my knowledge on these things

Yeah, the tube goes on the inside of the can. If it's not there, the air/oil mist will mostly just go right out the outlet. With the hose, you are forcing it to travel through the entire catch-can, through all the SS mesh. That will aide greatly at keeping the oil from traveling straight through the catch-can.

The SS pad won't get sucked back through the outlet...after you push it in there, you'll see why. (It took me about a half hour to stuff one pad in there through the big drain hole in the bottom. It's never coming back out, especially through a smaller hole.)
