Every internal combustion engine by nature acts as a massive pump. As a result, your engine's crankcase creates positive pressure which results in oil blow-by, and this oil-infused mist needs to vent somewhere - and not straight to atmosphere. Traditionally, this is handled by the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system, a process that routes the oil-mist back through the engine's air intake for burn-off during combustion.
Great in principle, but what often happens is a build of sludge over time that can foul EGC valves, intake manifolds and runners, glaze pistons and cylinder walls and reduce the efficiency of your engine. Rather than a catch can that vents to atmosphere via an air filter, this catch tank still operates as a "sealed" system that purifies the air going back into your engine and results in no additional emissions. Through use of a series of baffles in this SAAS catch tank and the featured bronze 40-micron filter, the oil vapour is captured and separated from the incoming air, which is converted back to a liquid and collected in the bottom of the tank. This leaves the resulting clean air to pass through the outlet port and back into your engine.Now, ensure you have the perfect fit and stand above the competition with their custom-made vehicle specific fitting kits giving you a factory style finish to your installation!
