Mr snow, I have no idea what you mean about a baffel? What is it meant to do? Did you get the exact same filter i got?

 

I was saying that you should not put oil in this thing and use it for an air pressure filter. I believe this plastic is the type that will discolor because it is the harder clear stuff, I could see oil weakening it. If you put oil in it and it weakened it could blow up attached to a air compressor.

Like I said again, as a catch can, it will be fine.

I will put up a post later it will not be very hard for you to do.

 

My fault Mr. Snow.....dunno what I was seeing when I read it.

 

What is this baffling stuff....is it just more material like steel wool or something in the body of the catch can?

 

the clear lower part is prolly of polycarbonate/lexan. engine oil is a pretty long chain molecule and non-polar, at most it will discolor the transparent plastic.

key to "catching" mist/vapor is long dwell/contact time-baffles and surface area for condensation eg stainless turnings, steel wool, porous frit

Here's what we were doing a few years back. I took these off my car because the plastic was cracking, splitting, and leaking from the heat. catch cans
