SLR - how many pipes to catch tank ?


SLR No.77

I've noticed that there are usually 2 pipes from the cam cover to a catch tank (wet sump) and many catch tanks have 2 inlets. Is there a reason for having 2 fitted, or is it just to accomodate the fact that there's usually two vents on the cam cover 🤔

Fitting 2 seems a complicated arrangement if only 1 is necessary.

Hmm. I assumed that the reason that the catch tank has 2 connectors was one for input, and the other to allow the air to vent back out to prevent the tank being pressurised.

 

Probably wrong though *confused*

Cheers Michael - I'm a bit baffled because the setup inside the cam cover is the same for both vents - wire gauze filter in both. I can only assume the cam covers are designed for the individual engine installation, with the necessary vents.
