Catch Can
 

Due to the off topic nature in the other thread i decided we better start a new thread.

The purpose of a catch can is to remove the unwanted oil from your crankcase ventalation from getting back into your intake. From there it will go through your compressor, ic piping, pool in your ic(s) and even may get sent in with your a/f mixture. Please post your set up here or ask any questions you may have here where they may be answered.

My set up consist of a air compressor filter and can be purchased at home depot for about $13 plus you can fit the fittings you will need there also. Totalinvestment including hose is under $30.

RE: Catch Can
 

part numbers would be awesome!!! does the air compressor fitting come with that top cover(black) piece? also what size are those fittings?

RE: Catch Can
 

Cool, I'll have to pick one up when I go get the rest of the fittings for my IC sprayer.

How often does it have to be replaced/cleaned?

RE: Catch Can
 

i would say every oil change

RE: Catch Can
 

yes the top cover is part of the filter. The fittings is a 1/4" and then a 1/2" fitting (i do believe). THe filter is a husky air compressor filter, it is in with all the air compressors along with the fittings. If you go to the isle with other fittings near/with plumming you can get them for a little cheaper.

RE: Catch Can
 

depends on your engine. Every oil change should be right if your engine is going strong. My brothers passat needs it every few weeks, the stuff in his is like milk that went really bad.
