Gamer Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Silly question but I want to replace my current breather system and I am trying to remove the old catch tank. I believe it is the type (or was ) that Paul E sells (or used to). It has two connectors on the top and one coming from the bottom. One hose comes off the hot side cam cover and the other hose just has a filter attached to it, both are using the top connectors. What I would like to know is where would the bottom hose go to ? I cannot see where it is going to and I am reluctant to unhook it until I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk-rich Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 What I would like to know is where would the bottom hose go to ? I cannot see where it is going to and I am reluctant to unhook it until I know. some sort of drain ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 some sort of drain ? I though so too, but I thought the purpose of the tank was to keep the oil in it. I don't know if the hose is connected to anything at the other end (away from the tank) or just hanging loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Don't know, it is going down under the engine towards the transmission I think. The hose is the same size as the ones used on the top connectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucifer Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Its a Drain, some people drain to the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Ok, I gave it a few good tugs it seemed as if it was connected to something. I guess it could have just been hung up on something. I will investigate a bit more tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 You can drain back into the engine... Could you tip the can on it's side and use it as the filter/out port and have two feeds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Drain to ground just infront of the rear tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
