I'm fitting an oil catch tank. Not going to recirculate the air into the throttle body (i.e will be fitting a breather on top of the catch tank)

What do i do with the inlet in the side of the TB where all the gunk would have gone before - this will need plugging somehow.

Cheers

p.s does anyone has a 1 ltr catch tank for sale?

Most hose suppliers like Pirtek do hose bungs. You could put a short piece of hose on and blank it off with one of those?

cheers for that, jsut found some on ebay now.

also, the black plastic thing on the side of the TB which the pipework connects to has a smaller pipe coming off the bottom - what is this for? And will it be affected by me removing the crankcase breather pipe???

Cheers

anyuone any idea what that lower pipe does below where the crankcase breather connects to the side of the TB????

Also the non return valve - is that just to stop any sludge / oil returning or does it control the pressure - i.e. will it matter that i'm going to remove it?

Cheers for the help.

It's the fuel vapour recovery line. You won't have any issues with that in conjunction with blanking the oil breather.
