Makeshift Oil Catch Can

I don't think so. Any collector like this would work.
What do you guys think of this

and whats up with the little filter? what would that do. I have found a few miniature catch cans with the breather filter.

I am wondering since it is NOT my first time to see a catch can like thingy with a small cone filter on top.. does it mean that this kind of catch can is not designed properlly? (at least to be used in lieu of what you guys are doing.. a sealed catch can with only a hose going in from the crankcase and an exiting hose going to the intake plenum)
Thanks

Hi Andy and DaveO, and others who have this mod.
How are the filter bottles holding up? Since it's plastic I'm wondering how the oil, heat and pressure will effect it over time.
Anyone know what will happen if you're driving and the plastic bottle finally breaks and the vacuum/pressure/connection between the 2 ends of the hose is gone?

The same as a hose failure - I would suspect you would lose power and it would stall as the rpms drop since it cannot maintain a vacuum...
you can try to run it without the hose connected to see what happens I guess.
the bottle seems pretty sturdy to me. I don't know how many psi goes through that hose though...

I went to get the stuff to make this mod and was going to get like 3 filters but the only filter HD had by the compressors was beer can sized. Might try to use that big can later after I get the small can system up and running.
Guess I'll try other HDs tomorrow.
Thanks guys, for the quick responces.
