OK, yeah...mount it in the fender, or in the flow of outside air. The longer the tubing and the further away from heat should significantly reduce temps allowing the vapor to become liquid-and catch...

Hmmm...Maybe I'll reinvent the mod...

Why don't you guys just run a catch can intercooler or alky injection?

Sorry, bad forced induction joke...



For what it's worth, AMW who makes the cans indicated earlier today that they almost always put them up close to the motor with short hoses. Not sure of the reasoning behind that.

I will probably vent my catch van to atmosphere and use a small electric vacuum pump to draw vapor out.
