Oil catch tanks..

[demus]

Have any of you doozal guys fitted a catch tank inline with the breather pipe??

I removed my intake hose a couple of days ago to renew some vac lines, and cleaned it out and removed the huge amount gunk that was coming down the breather pipe, mainly probably cos I only do short drives.
Since cleaning it out the it feels so much smoother and happier not sucking in all that crap.

Wouldn't mind seeing some pics if you have, and any experiences...

Used them on various different vehicles in the past but with today's oil technology you really shouldn't need one unless you a have bit more engine breathing than you should, (ring wear or bad valve seats) i would thoroughly clean all the breathing system and put good oil in and change it every 7000 miles.

Pretty much what I do mate really, its just the short journeys that don't help.. to be fair to it its the first time I've cleaned them out since I had the sticky turbo vanes about 4 or 5 years ago.
Probably in the summer it all dissapears anyway.. Its not so much oil coming down but the snot made from moisture and oil vapour on short journeys.
