Is that an aerosol can you used? How about some details, I like it.

It looks like you took an empty aerosol can and drilled 2 holes in the side and jb welded some 1/4 fittings in, then drilled the bottom (top of the can) out and jb welded in a drain? about right?

instead of having to drain oil every now and then, can you not just route a line to your oil return with a T, it woule drain itself, as long as the catch can is higher than the return.

It would work but do you really want to drain all that dirty ass oil back into your engine?

I need to make some kind of catch can soon, right now I am running a 90deg fitting where the PCV valve used to be and a hose from there to the ground. I want to connect it to a breather tank like the moroso one, but they are so expensive...

I'd like to know how the above can was made... I would like to try something similar, but I want to attach a small breather filter to the top so it can breathe...

if you ever drain the oil out of a catch can and see how it looks, you will never wana drain that thing back into the engine.

Oh, the Mitsubishi Starion has an oil catch can in the breather system from the factory, it drains back into the pan.
