That looks identical to any of the air/oil seperators that you can buy in the air compressor section of any tool section.

What I like about mine is that the inside walls are tapered as you go up so the oil can't climb the walls. Also, the filter element contains a heavy duty stainless steel mesh (think really tough brillo pad) to cool the air and help condense the oil. I nearly completely eliminated all of my oil consumption issues with it. My intake is clean now.

Nah, I didn't make it, it's the AMW catch can. I forgot who's it was, but did a search and figured it out. I bought mine when they were cheaper than the $160. I think I paid around $85 - $100 if I remember correctly.

I just installed a Husky mini one the other day. I now know where that 1/2 quart of oil goes between changes.
