[How and why to fit a Catch Tank..]

Hello,

I’m sure you most of you are aware that OBP manufacture a wide range of Aluminium Products, with one being the Aluminium Catch Tank

Why Fit an Oil Catch Tank?

If your engine breathes back into its induction system (usual on all engines after mid 1960s) it is recirculating oxygen-less oil-laden air back into the fuel mix.

As the induction system operates at full efficiency on oxygenated air then fitting a catch tank will gain horsepower, as well as prevent carbon & sludge build up in the induction system.

Simply removing the emissions & breather system will tend to result in a very grimy engine bay, as well as being detrimental to the environment, and an MOT fail.

For race use cars showing any indications of oil fumes from their breather system will be required to fit a catch tank by the scrutineers.

The Oil Catch Tank basically filters the fumes and oil away from the top of your engine and allows the oil to collect in a Catch Tank.

From here it is easily possible to drain this captured oil and dispose of it.

Most race tracks require the use of a Oil Catch Tank for safety reasons.

OBP offer baffled and non baffled Catch Tanks.

I trust this has been useful for you.

Thanks for your time.

Sam from ObpLtd.
