I have clear silicone hoses and the can is not trapping any of the oil. its still finding its way into the hose that lead to the intake tube. any reasons, suggestions to fix this? thanx

 

probably got it hooked up wrong i would think there would be some sort of check valve or way that the oil can only flow in not out

 

got a good point there. i think i'll try to email weapon-r and ask em about that. thanx

 

is there a baffel in the can? might look like steel wool inside. if not then thats the problem. alot of the catch cans dont have this and this is the vital part to catch the oil/ crud. with out it the oil vapor will just go from one hose to the other where the baffel will trap the oil and let it collect.

 

so what do i do...get like an SOS pad and stuff it in there?

 

Haha well kinda but the blue soap stuff probably wouldn't be a good idea. Best thing I can think of is the scouring pads at grocerie stores. Just make sure it dosent have loose strands. They won't help if they find there way into the motor lol

 

i should probably research a new oil catch can. any recommendations?

 

dont worry about it. lol the expensive ones are really the same as the cheap ones. just a can and some hoses and a baffel. if yours dosent have a baffel just pick up some steel wool and shove er in there haha

 

here's my only delimma. the hole to "shove er in there" is only about the size of the hole to drain the oil.

 

i've heard lots of people going to home depot/lowes/hardware store and getting a air compressor catch can for cheap. i want to get one but I'm not sure where to hook it up lol

 

ohh yea. i just brought up a picture of the catch can..... dosent look good haha. you could try through the intake tube on the can. like the tube from alve cover to catch can shove a small piece in the metal tube of the catch can. that way the oil will condence on the wool and trickle back into the can????

 

i think im gonna just say **** it and put the tube back the way it should be. lol
