Actually, it was not Pete. I have one of those on my turbo car and it is excellent. At 14 psi, or 2 atmospheres, it needs it. And the folk at the strip frown on cars that drip on their track.

If I was going to do it, I'd do the same, it could be made into a design feature of sorts if done right too...1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie

Something like this... but good luck finding one small enough. I have mine routed under the seat to a K&N style filter that is held in a small pot (actually a paint can lid). I put towel in the pot & replace it every 6 months or so.
And this is the cheap one for non-certified aircraft!

I had a Yamaha 650 once, and when this PCV (positive crankcase ventilation thing or whatever you call it came out, I just didn't like the idea of my engine sucking in the breather fumes from the crankcase, I thought it would screw up my carbs. So, I plugged the breather box hole and put on a new hose long enough to run under the engine case in front of the back wheel. Whatever came out of it went to the road.sigpic

Perhaps Salty Monk could have them made?

This whole thread has got me thinking now... plus the fact that I definitely have a small amount of blow by that ends up on the battery, which means it will end up on my battery box cover once it's finished too...1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie

JimmyR, if you run it straight up, the blowby will go up, hit the filter, stop, and eventually run back down into the engine. No dripping on the ground, no dripping on the chain , and no need for a catch can. Just my observations and experience, since that is what I do. Best of luck.

I'm certain that some kind of container that they sell at a Dollar store could be converted for use for very little money.
Especially in China.
They might cost what, .50 each to make tops?
With a retail price of say $10.00?
