Hayabusa oil catch tank
Hi, I am looking at adding an oil catch tank to my hayabusa MK in case of any slight overfills in the dry sump.
Currently the dry sump overflow goes to a t-piece which then goes to the intake and a return to the block. I know the tank should go in between the
dry sump overflow and this t- piece but my question is, do I need to purchase a tank with a breather filter or does it not need one?
I'm planning on just getting a cheap ebay ones as im in the process of buying my first house so moneys a bit tighter than usual, yes I know
there not as good as tanks such as the mocal ones but they are surely better than the plastic bottles some people use.
Cheers

basically the tank should have 2 inlets. 1 from d/s overflow and 1 from crank case breather i think. the tank should be vented (with filter) an the
rest of the setup fully sealed

The pipe from the crank case breather goes to a t-joint which goes to the air filter and to the dry sump overflow, I wondered if it needed the
breather filter with it bein linked to the air filter?

I have took a photo of what I am on about.
I also found this on another forum:
"With a breather you are venting to atmosphere. Without you are retouting it back somewhere: either back into the intake under suction, or into
the exhaust. Routing it back into the intake has drawbacks that you will recirculate oil vapor back into the engine and get a nice coating of oil in
the tract. Routing into the exhaust can be done so you have a ventury effect and draw a vaccum during decel, low throttle, or idle; though I've
heard the vapor in the exhaust can still burn off the oil residue. "
So am I right in saying if I keep it linked onto the air intake I need a sealed can? However if I was to remove it I need a can with a breather?
Cheers
