Oil catch tank

After my engine rebuild I changed the oil system to an open system and needed a catch tank. Until now I've been using a temporary solution which in every way was not very good.

FIA regulations stipulates that engines larger than 2000cc must have 3l catch tank. I'm not competing, but while I'm at it there are no reasons not to conform to regulations.

For some reason catch tanks with 3l capacity are not very common, and those that would fit under the bonnet are even less so. I ended up having one custom made. The price was about the same as buying an existing design from eBay plus vat.

I sent a sketch to Mulberry Fabrications - Mulfab and not much later I had it in my hand. It is very light, only 763g including filter.

The catch tank is fastened using rivnuts. Some day I'll replace the hoses to something more flexible as they're a bit bulky as it is now.
