    It is a water seperater. Works good, just not flashy.

    This stuff look familiar?



    Easily cut; doesn't ravel; cheap; won't melt; works well.
    For other ideas, see post #24 above.

    The idea is to separate the oil particles from the air going to the intake. The filter material gives these particles something to cling to and drop out. Works as good as $150 units, but not as "boutique-cute".

    This is after all, the "$20 Oil Catch Can" thread.


    PS: running like that around here will get you shot at or put in jail; maybe it's different where you are?

    Is the motor injesting oil like it was designed to do, really that bad for it?? When I recently installed my CAI, I had to give my throttle body a good cleaning... FWIW. Just curious.

    IMO, burning oil is only good in a Diesel engine. In ANY instance, coke is not good for you.

    NEVER bump up an old-*ss thread unless you can add some new information:

    BigRed,

    Great read! I see yours is a Kobalt. Can you share the model number and where you acquired it?

    Thanks,

    I believe that model is available in store at Lowe's, just an air separator, and will be near the compressors and air tools.
