Bear in mind its size ........... its width is 2 1/4" or 56mm & height is 5.1" or 12.5cm. Total volume is just over 300ml, or less than a can of coke.

Its a little bit tiny - although i suspect big enough if your car doesn't breath much and you keep your eye on it.

I didnt even do that, used rc car fuel tin on one, and a used junk tin on the other.

Agreed. I go by the thinking that catch tanks shouldn't cost you anything!

FYI, the MSA suggest that a catch tank should be at least 2litres. I've managed to over fill one at that size too! (don't ask )

That is absolutely tiny, it would be waste of time fitting it to anything that actually needed it.

I use a old oil spray gun can And the best bit is you can take the lid off and wipe the old scummy oil out
