What are people doing to comply with the requirement to have an oil catch tank on the crankcase breather. My stock L-Jet system returns the blowby back to the inlet and is closed to atmosphere. Should I put a 1-quart catch tank with an inlet, outlet, drain petcock, and no vent to atmosphere in the line that goes back to the inlet? Or should I plug the fitting at the inlet and route the blowby into a vented catch tank? I would like to keep the system closed to atmosphere if possible so as not to have to deal with oil mist making it through a filter on the vent and depositing in the engine compartment and smelling the fumes all the time. With a closed system, it seems that a catch tank should not be required, but I believe it is. All comments/photos appreciated.
