Fitted Catch Tank
Fitted the little oil catch tank today I got from masher on xpowerforums. Looks a very neat install

Took the induction kit apart and cleaned the oil from the filter. hopefully the catch tank will stop this from happening in the future.

Hmm, am i right in thinking that this little gizmo can help to prevent VIS failure by stopping oil seepage ?

Being totaly honest and baring in mind i don't know a lot about engines and all the bits connected to it - how easy is this to fit ?

DeMoNPauL has a little shameless behaviour in the past
To anyone who is fitting one or thinking of fitting one do not use ordinary silicone hose.

It collapses under pressure.

Samco do a fuel/oil type of hose which is recommended.

If you aint bothered about the colour of the hose you can buy fuel/oil reinforced hose from halfords in black.
