During the test drives for the suspension setup, more and more smoke escaped from the catchtank. Knowing it had no proper design, I built a bespoke tank with strainer baffles and retaining foam allowing the oily vapors to condensate.
Originally, this tank hadn't even a filter socket, so came out the 9/16 18 die to accomodate a D10 adaptor.
This allows to mount the filter removable or connect a hose if required. Two half inch connectors will receive the hoses from the crankshaft and rocker cover vent.
Hoses internally to the tank lead the oily smoke down to the baffles underneath the foam. In theory, the fumes should condensate and separate the oil from the smoke.
The fully assembled tank. On the rear side, a sight gauge shows the oil level. Excess oil can be drained through the small plug below.
Cheers.
