They are such a simple, cheap mod that I've been looking at oil catch tanks and am a bit confused by the options..
Some vent to the atmosphere via a filter e.g., http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Polished-Oil-Catc ... 43a4bf0af4
But some do not e.g., http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-POLO-PASS ... 53e5f4da58
Does it make any difference? Am I right in assuming that the non-venting one would be better in light of deep water crossings?
Also, some seem to just be empty cans in which the oil vapor condenses, whereas others are baffled and contain gauze and a magnetic base to to assist in removing oil and any particles. Any point in getting the latter is a straight can good enough?
There are tons available on ebay and appear to all be pretty universal.
