[QUOTE="Snoopy49, post: 13028538, member: 138649"] Here is Jer's description of the media. [URL="ttp://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php/topic/76728-shelby-oil-separator/page__st__380#entry1435104"]Shelby Oil Separator[/URL] It looks like the media is in the middle section of the bottom cup. If that is the case, you will have to remove the media in order to empty the cup. Since it sits on top of the valve cover like the JLT unit, there is no room for a drain on the bottom. I can't figure out how they isolate the inlet hole from the upper outlet chamber. If there is any space between the hole and the screen, there is a chance of oil vapors bypassing the screen and getting pushed/sucked directly into the outlet chamber and out to the blower. Even if they get it to sit directly on the screen, which would be pretty hard with the o-ring in it's present position, the oil would have to penetrate 2 layers of media before it made it's way to the collection chamber. What are the chances the media would become oil saturated and the oil getting sucked up by the blower. Just thinking out loud. [/QUOTE]
