oil catch can

[bozothenutter]

I want to mount an oil catch can as the small filter I got with the RS2 gets smelly sometimes.
got a oilcatchcan from a mate but noticed the two fittings on the side go into a box with no baffling of any kind....won't this make the can sortof useless?
this is the type of can I have:

The fittings are interchangable on both sides.
since it is welded I cannot use solid pipe internally, would it be ok to user (oil resistant) rubber hose with holes drilled in the side and fill it up with some stainless steel wool?

The Mocal oil catch can I use is all open inside the tank , as long as the fumes pass into the tank , it's doing its catching

Ideally they should be baffled or contain some kind of wadding to encourage the oil to settle, when it's just a box with two pipes facing each other the air will just fly right through.

You could stuff the middle with wire wool, but that usually works best when the pipes are not facing.

on mine the pipes are actually side by side, but can be swapped around

I just use course steel wool inside the can as a kind of baffle, just watch the size of the nipples going to the can, have had oil blow out the dipstick tube because the diameter of the fittings on the can were too small to cope with the pressures... running 3/4 fittings now with no problems

I've got a torques one that works well with my RS2.

Can just see it lol
