Default Steeda oil seperator

Anyone run this? Yeah, it's for a mustang but will work on our cars. Looks like a good alternative to the catchcan everyone here runs.

That's the exact same thing you can buy for $20 at sears. It's for an air compressor basically. Campbell Hausfield makes them. I got mine at AutoZone.

I got one of those to try out. Not that exact one but an oil/water seperator for an air compressor. It ended up clogging with oil and crap after about 500 miles.

Thats a good question. After a few hundred miles it stop filling up with oil. I took it apart and it wasn't letting air through anymore.

What is that clear fuel filter? hooked up to? I went to Lowes yesterday and bought a smaller air compressor filter and hooked it up inline after my pcv valve. It's alot smaller than the other one I was going to try to use. No oil in it yet. Although I did order the pcv valve for oil consumption problems (I've got the part # here somewhere) from the Chevy dealership for $10 on Thursday, it should be here Wed. or so. Maybe that'll help as well.

its hooked up to the breather valve off your valve cover (passenger side) which breathes to the TB and often dirtys the TB so i put a filter there too heres what my TB used to look like compared to know:
