Easy way to empty your catch can...maybe

[BirdTRD]

For those of you that have a FI set up and a catch can or two, this may help you. Now this really only applies to catch cans that are mounted in a place that makes it really difficult to unscrew the bottom, you didn't spring for the kind with a drain valve and you also has a dipstick. (I'm looking at you Radium)

Easy peasy. Just grab a sprayer from an empty bottle, dip the tube or straw end down the dipstick hole and pump away! (preferably into something you can properly dispose of later, remember that a good portion of this liquid is unburned fuel so use caution)

As necessity is the mother of invention, my son and I figured out this one little trick on his otherwise stock Hyundai Molester Turbo.
He can't go between oil changes without having to empty the chocolate milk out of his ADD W1 catch can (which we added a little stainless steel wool to the inside and this can works great, except for the main o-ring that stretches out of shape and makes it almost impossible to screw the can back on and get the o-ring in place, another reason we were looking at an alternative way to empty it)

I also have a Radium catch can on my BRZ and it hasn't caught crap yet but there's a perfectly good reason.....I don't have FI.
Now I know what you're thinking..."you idiot, why would you have a catch can on a NA car?" Well, it was really late one night and I was surfing car porn looking at all those sweet sweet Turbo's and Superchargers (that Edlebrock kit sure is sexy!) and I got a bit excited....suffice it to say, there was premature modification. Happens to everyone, right?

I have a catch can on my N/A and it also gets a fair amount of oil. Would definitely recommend a catch can to everyone

I've had mine on for almost 6000 miles and haven't caught shit! But I guess that is actually a good thing...or maybe I just need to push it harder!
