Automotive Plumbing Solutions Lightweight Alloy Oil Catch Tank

The Automotive Plumbing Solutions Lightweight Alloy Oil Catch Tank prevents unwanted oil vapour from entering the engine intake, helping to maintain cleaner combustion and protect performance. Made from high-quality aluminium, it features two removable inlets, a sight gauge for easy oil level checks and a drain plug for hassle-free emptying.

This catch tank is designed to manage oil vapour effectively in high-revving race and tuned engines. Key features and benefits include

• Dual 12mm I.D. hose inlets: Allows straightforward integration into the engine breather system, preventing oil vapour from re-entering the intake and maintaining cleaner combustion.
• Removable and replaceable fittings: The inlets can be swapped for AN (JIC) fittings (available separately, providing flexibility for different breather configurations and plumbing requirements.
• M14 x 1.5 threaded spare port: Offers an additional option for fitting a breather filter or returning oil vapour to the engine, adapting to specific setup needs.
• Sight gauge: Provides a clear visual of the oil level, eliminating guesswork and ensuring timely draining to prevent overfilling.
• Drain plug at the base: Allows for easy disposal of collected oil, reducing maintenance effort and keeping the breather system effective.
• Non-vented design with optional breather port: Ensures compliance with various breather system setups while maintaining the ability to modify ventilation if required.
• Pre-drilled universal mounting brackets: Allows for secure installation in various engine bays, ensuring a stable and effective fit.
• Removable cap: Enables access to the interior, allowing for the addition of a custom baffle if required to improve oil separation efficiency.

High-revving race and tuned engines generate increased oil vapour, which, if directed back into the intake, leads to poor combustion and carbon build-up. This not only reduces power output but also affects throttle response and overall efficiency. By integrating the APS oil catch tank into the breather system, all excess oil vapour is captured before it can enter the intake, keeping the airflow clean and combustion consistent. The result is a more efficient engine that maintains its performance without the risk of oil contamination affecting the intake system.

With its high-quality aluminium construction, dual inlets, and easy maintenance features, this catch tank is a practical addition to any performance build. Keep your intake system free from unwanted oil vapour and ensure your engine runs at its best.
