Catch Cans

[Gazski66]

Tell him to hurry up Chris, I want to see this CC in the flesh

I thought you already had one fitted?

[Superfly Guy]

Ive been looking at the page on E Bay yes, I meant I wanted to see one and the engine bay, difficult to visualise. Do the pipes need to be anything special, ie silicon or anything.

Ah pipes. Did a bit of research on that too. How long you got LOL

Have to be oil and fuel resistant, if not oil and fuel proof.
Temperature- watch the pipes that say "For show" only. Reckon that emission gas from PCV exit is at least rather warm so above 60deg Celsius proof
So- don't get pipes to just 30deg Celsius. Think silicone goes to 180deg c, but very expensive
So back to (Heat treated) rubber or some types braided heat proof PVC.......and PVC comes in nice colours

Anyway......that's why I asked supplier to get some- and it was cheap. Ha!
But will upgrade to a coloured pipe at some stage, Just want it working at the moment
Probably red braided clear PVC, rated to 60+ Celsius

ED- Yep that's the link SFG. Can never post links me. Know what you mean bout seeing a real one in situ
Will post piccies by January end :-)

SFG slips off to Google

Probably won't look very clear once it has had oily crud through it

[Chris_Blue]

Not so much clear, as red opaque PVC, looks like braided reinforcing thru it
But take your point. Be mainly fumes coming thru it, but will get gummed up at some stage

MTFU and get it attached, my finger is hovering over the BUY button

Did they get the tubing in, I found a UK place on the net last night but our shocking internet connection died so gave up and went to sleep.

[Chris_Blue]

Yeah- Ive got tubing too. Just gotta get hold of jubilee clips or something (Easy)
Aiming for next weekend, although it seems to have rained everyday for weeks down here

Those winter tyres must be paying for themselves

[Chris_Blue]

Not really- never gone below 4deg c. Only done that a handful of times
Feel a bit more secure with them on, but for time of year its warm and wet

ED- To get back on track, its still a bit cold to put a catch can in. But I may MTFU lol

The wink in my post hinted at sarcasm and irony

A mechanic was fixing my puncture in -7 the other morning.

[Chris_Blue]

Its his job tho............its my hobbie

I also keep fish in my nice back room which need maintaining , with Sports TV in the room, and runs about 18 deg c
Theres a kitchen next door. with ciders innit..... need I say more

But I luuuurve the car in the warmer 8 months and wouldn't be away from it (Rambles on as I do)


ED: Getting a small glass fronted fridge for the ciders in my back room, is on the "GENERAL" list up as high as "Catch Can"
