What to use for BEC catch tank??

Just looking at winter changes and realise that my oil and fuel breather currently run to the floor. What do you guys use just like a alli type thing etc.?
Any pics and places to get from would be great.
Car is blade powered westie if that helps running baffled sump.
Cheers
Eddie

I run an old small plastic medicine bottle on my supermoto race bikes. works fine. IF you want fancy stuff then you can pay £££'s for it. But it isn't needed.

I used a thermos, because it's...um shiny

But an empty can of Stella will perform just as well

I just have a tube going upwards finishing at bonnet level with a little breather filter. Does the job nicely...

Alloy catch tank with breather - here

Not too expensive and keeps the scrutineers happy! I may go for a lighter option though... :-)

take a trip to wiklinsons and have a look at thair stianless steel coffee/sugar containers - for about £ 3 or so; I reckon with a bit of modifying would make a very nice catch tank.

I am using a kit kat bottle, but being steel, is shoing signs of rusting so w likley to be changing it.

ebay - red anodised for £ 38 in post


if that is too mcuh, whcih let's face it, it is, then a trip to wilkinsons again, and use an aluminium watter bottle.

A thimble, bike engines are that well engineered they don't breath more than a thimble full a year, in fact in 6 years mine hasn't chucked a drop out, yup still have coke can just in case.

Looks flash till they take a couple of knocks, then they look like you have attached an old can to your car.
