Oil Catch Tanks

Postby Weathers » Wed Apr 26, 2017 1:44 pm

Following on from Brands it was discovered that I need a better Breathable oil catch tank......

Can anyone recommend a good one? Only needs to be small capacity.

Thanks

Must admit, my catch tank is a modified cocktail shaker with a removable top.

Good man, mine is a thermoflask from millets, the screw in top was just right to drill and put a pipe in and i baffled it by filling it with wire wool :geek:

Mine for the water over flow and oil catch, is a poundland push bike drink container
cost £1 each, surprisingly
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

Interestingly on closer inspection I think all it needs is a breather filter as there is a hole in the top which is threaded and looks to take a 5mm screw (measured roughly just now but not tried a M5 screw yet).

Breather filters are 10 a penny just need to find the appropriate adaptor. One end needs a screw in bit about 5mm (for the top of the tank) and the other needs to be able to have a pipe from the filter on it and clamped (10mm ID pipe).

I think that would work? I know what I mean......
