[QUOTE="Taz, post: 3327221, member: 2127"] Roy, I'm afraid it may be a container volume issue, as Jesse said, so some oil mist is going to get through one of those little oil separators, regardless of how often you empty it. FWIW, I've read accounts of people installing a second Steeda separator inline with the first, after discovering that one wasn't getting the job done, even when it was kept fairly empty. These folks said that running two of them in series worked much better than one, but still wasn't 100% effective. You shouldn't accumulate anywhere near 400 ml in 3K miles. I typically see around 25 ml over that interval (Just up to the bottom of the sight tube on the side of my tank). Probably, how tight your engine is will determine how much you get more than anything else, but driving style may also be a factor. I maybe wrong, but I can't imagine even a really loose, motor that's constantly beat on blowing anywhere near 400 ml out the PCV valve in only 3K miles. If it does, then a 500 ml tank won't be large enough to support it, because you need the chamber volume to precipitate the oil mist. My catch tank is a "Cusco" brand part. Check eBay Motors. It's full of PCV catch tanks of various shapes, sizes and price ranges, and you can get a suitable tank for $20. Just make sure you buy one with 9mm fittings, not 15mm. I paid quite a bit more for mine (maybe $60), because I wanted (1) an integrated sight tube, and (2) a billet aluminum tank. T- :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
