Oil catch tank

[noddy]

Is one needed for 2004, does this apply to all types of car (wet & dry sumped?) if so what does it comprise 🤔

 

R400 .......... I love it

I think if your engine has a breather that could push oil out then yes

 

it can be anything from an old washer fluid bottle and bit of pipe to a shiny anodised mocal one with shiny aero fastenings etc etc

 

I currently have the washer bottle system on my dry sumped superlight, however may go all tarty and get an anodised one

 

here is a picture of a shiny mocal one in situ at the end of the pedal box

Std K's don't have a breather to atmosphere so don't need a catch tank. The breathers from the engine are either capped (small ones from the cam cover) or fed into the inlet plenum where the oil will be burned by the engine. Not sure whether the R400 is different or not.
