Catch Cans

[Gazski66]

Fitted my Saikou Michi catch can on front PCV about 5 week ago, with sight glass
Done about 1400miles since (Not quite sure, maybe more) and theres about 4 mil of dark gooey mess at bottom of sight tube (Will wait and see how much that means)
Vehicles 1st service very soon, so will be reverting to OEM pipes, and will empty the can
Will prob take a recording and post up what comes out.
Really pleased I have it on- whatever

Hows your Forge Gaz?

Fitted on 3rd Jan and looks like about 2-3mm on sight glass, will take it off thursday or friday and empty so will post results, need to get some kerosene from somewhere first, any ideas?

Whats kerosene for- to clean? Petrol should be OK, or engine degreaser (Funny enough, I bought some recently )

[Gazski66]

where from?

Do not think you need to clean it out with a degreaser every time you empty it. I sure don't but I do not have a forge can.

Probably not Cyclone but just like to have things clean when i put them back on lol

[Chris_Blue]

Degreaser off ebay about £3 a bottle
Would at least clean the accesible parts of the pipework to the can, and the connecting bits
Might be a fine layer of oil. Would also want to inspect the pipes are holding up

My OCC completely sealed anyways

[cyclone]

Can't argue with that!

I used kero on my Saikou Michi Catch Can. got it pretty clean, though this was on the Seat Altea TDI Sport Diesel which loved filling up the OCC with heavy gunk. Kero was the only thing that loosened it up.

Probably details how to clean the Saikou can on the US website- will have a look after a year

ED- It dont say nothin bout cleaning the can as it happens- not that i can find

[Gazski66]

Ok so emptied OCC today and no where near as much as i first thought, must have been gunk stuck on sight glass

[Chris_Blue]

least its not gone back into engine- how many miles covered Gaz?

Ah right- you will get a better idea after a couple thousand- thats whats recommened i think.
Altho the Racings seem to spit out a mug full after 500 mile
Might be mainly water tho

Mine will be approaching 2000 i reckon when i do it mid March

Think someones said on here, that you dont get much at all out in the Summer months
Condensation in the engine and that, in winter months
