diy oil catch tank

[NIZAN-R]

so i wanted one but didnt want to spend monney on it so i found some info and set of building it it took 3 days only my lunch times so basicly 3 hours to complete.

needed parts.

m8 nut for drain
3 pieces of thin pipe
threaded coupling cut in half for oil level
2 6mm 90deg air fittings
6mm clear air tube
a pipe or tube for the tank
2 end plates for top and bottom
baffel plate to fit in the tank
steel wool





i had all materials lying around ssteel for a better looking tank
tubing cut to desired length


drill16mm holes so that the threaded coupling goes into the tube dont want it sticking out too far


drill holes for where your pipes will go at the top sized to your pipe


top plate drill a hole and weld a pice of pipe for where the breather filter will go


will be welded to the top


got this and cut it in half for where my pipes will conect


weld it in plece


bottom plate with a nut welded on for draining the tank


get some steel wool to put in the tank



cut a baffel plate to fit in the tank


weld baffel plate in place in the tank


weld in the threaded couplings for the air fittings


i tac welded all the parts in place with the arc welder its hard to weld nice with it so i got a tig welder to weld it all in place and there you go a DIY oil catch can for cheap lol
the finished product



so when i got home i took out my polishing buff and shined the littel succer up now it looks bling bling

Very nice worksmanship there! But steel wool and a drain back to the sump? No thanks, after a few heat cycles you'll be picking steelwool out of your bearings!
