I was at one of our local Hardware Stores today and decided to look at some different things that might make a nice compact but useful catch container for the PCV Vent. The 1 1/2" 90* PVC elbow fitting I picked is threaded inside at one end and has the glue & press in on the other, the reason I picked this type of elbow was so that the threaded end can be unscrewed so the container can be cleaned out if needed at some point, I will drill & Tap each cap so that the PVC 1/4 X 1/4 barbed fittings can be screwed into each end, I will also build a mounting bracket that will be attached to the container out of a piece of Aluminium strap, I do believe this elbow will make a nice compact effective catch can for the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) on my scoot, it will get a good coat of Krylon Fusion Gloss Black paint also, just to dress it up a bit.... I will get more pics up as soon as I have the chance to get this done. let me know what you think about it fella's Peace, Shan Attachments:

Yeah I have a fuel filter on mine right now but after 8 or 10 miles of running WOT @ 7500 RPM's I still get a bit of oil that works it's way into the filter and seeps out, plus I figured the filter will become more restrictive over time and could possibly cause excessive crankcase pressure rather than having a completely free flow that will catch the oil and allow it to drain back into the engine.
I will likey use a small one way PCV valve on the exit side as well.
