Are you concerned about dirty EGR fumes clogging up your inlet manifold?
Ever wondered how you can avoid oily, sooty EGR fumes from clogging your engine?

It’s not as sexy as a new turbo. You’d be forgiven for even overlooking a catch can when modifying your vehicle.

We have seen an increase in problems with the Exhaust Gar Re-circulation (EGR) systems in common rail vehicles. In some cases, we have had to replace the entire head at a cost of over $4,000 to the owner, because clumps of soot have built up in the intake manifold, broken off and gone through the engine.

Other EGR related issues include decreased performance and increased fuel consumption.

Minimise soot and carbon build up in your manifold

As underrated as the catch can is, it’s a dead simple solution to a cleaner engine.

The oil catch can does as it sounds: catches oil to prevents it from re-entering your engine’s intake tract. For only a couple of hundred bucks, you’ll reap the benefits of a clean intake tract:

Longer lasting engine
Better performance
Better mileage
Cleaner engine internals
Less maintenance costs
Peace of mind

How do I empty my Catch can?

Step 1 - Firstly, remove the dip stick from the catch can and check the oil level by inspecting the end of the dip stick. Once there is roughly 20-30mm on the end of the dip stick, it is time to clean out your catch can.

Step 2 - Removing the bowl/base of the catch can is a very easy job, and can be done by hand. The catch can bowl / base can be easily removed by rotating the bowl / base anti-clockwise for undoing and clockwise for tightening. (Righty tighty, lefty loosey!)

Step 3 - Once the bowl/base is removed, carefully empty the contents into a waste oil container, and either wipe out or use a degreaser to clean, ensure the catch can is dry before refitting bowl/base.

Step 4 - Finally, after cleaning, replace the bowl/base by screwing it back on rotating it clockwise to do up, be careful not to over tighten!. Firm is fine..

Hey Tim. The work you did on my 79 series is great. The increase in power and torque is fantastic. Seamless and smooth delivery across a nice wide band from 1,000 RPM in fifth with no holes or flat spots. You've made a new car heaps better to drive. Thanks. - Peter Rowley
