Default Oil catch tanks

Looking at these at the mo, my car (t3 converted frst) currently has the one pipe venting to atmosphere, its the one off the breather pot that normally goes to the airbox i believe. How do I plumb the catch tank in? I thought it was just a case of sticking the pipe in the tank, but clearly not as they all have other pipes coming out! Any help happily received

Pipe into the tank - the one you've currently got venting to atmosphere.

Pipe venting to atmosphere through a filter.

Thats your minimum for a catch tank

You may also get oil returns out the bottom to return oil back to the sump...

These are really crap pictures but all I have justnow.





EFI zvh, got it breathing from the block, 2 points on the cam cover (std cvh) and the small one on the inlet manifold (std efi cvh) all into the breather tank with a return to sump and vent to atmosphere.

Should hopefully never need a catch tank or have any breathing issues now
