[Shotimes] PCV catch can

[Robert Bruce]

A cup!?  The tank must be really condensing all the moisture out of the blow
by gases.  I always get a clear fluid with just a slight film of oil, maybe
a couple of tablespoons in a thousand miles or so.

FWIW - I used to have a very similar setup on a dirt late model
(http://www.grandviewspeedway.com/).  That engine ran on methanol & I would
clean out the tank after every race night.  With about 1 hour of run time
per night the engine would produce about a pint of water/oil/alcohol
mixture.  That mixture would easily light with a match.

Subject: [Shotimes] PCV catch can


I put a catch can for my PCV system in on my '97 last Friday.  It is 20"L x
3"
and made of aluminum, has a baffle running the length of it and has both in
and out the hoses on the same end but different sides of the baffle.  I have
it mounted under the radiator horizontally.

Today I took the end off and got about a cup of liquid just slightly more
viscous than gasoline.  Is this what you other catch can guys get?????

FWIW I have sealed off the make-up air for the PCV system.
