Star products. http://www.starvacuumpumps.com/catalog/ The other key to keeping the tank clean is to have the motor sealed up tight. We run the rear main seal backwards. Very very little oil ends up in the tank. Dan

Well I pull from right above the wide rocker stand near the front... I made a interlocking U set up that was sealed to the valve cover(one U fit inside the other so the open of the U over lapped)

No matter what tank you use if it becomes overfilled it will come out. I drive may car on the street so the extra volume works great. The bonus of this tank is the spraying oil has room to seperate and fall to the bottom instead of blowing out the breather.

Most any of those tanks you need to direct the air flow down in the tank so it doesnt spray the mist and get caught up in the exiting air

That's essentially what I'm after right there. Most of my driving is on the street and while I expect to have to empty it on regular basis there is a chance I may forget sometime. Are all these tanks open inside or is there any that have a down spout/tube attached to the fitting to direct the mist down?
Raff- this baffle your talking about...How big is it? are you talking a few inches overlapping the fitting or the length of the cover? the ends of the "u"'s- are they closed or open?

I drew up a quick sketch ... I made it with a backing plate that way if you have a nut for the inside of the valve cover for the breather fitting you can use the nut to hold it in place(I didnt have a nut because I tapped the valve cover).... the inlet side (side where the printing is) is towards the exhaust on mine because of push rod oiling

I like that moroso tank, mine is quite a bit shoter. Ive been battling this problem since i put my pump on, so keep up the suggestions.
How about installing a drain hose ffrom the catch tank back into the motor, a gravity feed design with a real light one way check valve, say three or four pounds of vacume like a PVC valve or something like that
I wouldn't. Then you will have vane waste and moisture going back in.
