Default *Emptying Oil Catch Can*

Hey just registered today so I'm new here, hopefully someone can help me!
I'm trying to figure out how to empty my oil catch can.....I have a spare hose and I know that I need to connect it to the PCV but after that I'm lost.

mine is near motor mount and has small capacity so removing and dumping it is a pain so i'm using a air-powered vacuum pump to suck oil out the pcv side hose with intake side hose pinched off when it gets full.

^i ordered one like that, the WeaponR Catch can, it mounted like 'on' the upper mount. but the discontinued it. the ones i have now are much easier. an8mmto d/c the hose clamps,10mm socket for the can itselfand its off. then i just turn it upside down and dump. i used to take the top off the can but thats pointless, i just dump every other oil change

stock i could go a couple oil changes, but with s2 and wg preload set at the proper preload i get a lot more part throttle boost than i did stock so now it fills up between each oil change. i'm running a check valve so i don't know why my catch can fills up so fast.check valve came already assembled so iguess it's installed correctly - the 90 degree fitting connects to intake with arrow pointing towards intake and the straight fitting is hooked to catch can line. i like the jmbbetter than the agp because of the sight glass and seems tofit better.

there are several different types of cans, mine is fairly large, which also contributes to not having to empty it often. as for emptying... here is how its done

I have the agp cc and there is a bung plug in the bottom. I took the plug out and put in a brass valve that you can open and drain without removing can or hoses. Pretty handy.
