Another Catch Can Question

[klenn]

Hey guys I got given this catch can and yes before you ask I have done a search, just wondering why it has 3 ports out of it, I supose its not a catch can but a oil sperater, anyway what do you guys think and what is the nipple at the bottom for? should I turf this and get something else?

two on the top for "intake" and bottom for releasing gases and such out I believe. most guys just run a tube out underneath the car.

wont all the oil just drain out of it then and if you run the pipe up then down the air wont go thorough the oil would it?

Two of the ports are for as discribed the top of the covers, 1 side for the top of the covers the other plumbed back into the intake, the bottom one is for a drainage of oil. There is a big thing about baffling inside the can too to make it well more effecient in its design of what its for. Usual trick if you can open it up and place steel wool inside a stocking then place the stocking inside the can will help with its efficiency in a big way

Plenty of topics on this search (catch+can) or oil/air seperator for more information

Unless your car is blowing a large amount of oil my suggestion would be to plug that lower hole.

just run it as a std catch can(with the wool inserted) and drain it from that plug if it starts to fill up
