oil catch tanks have a central baffle plate to make the gases actually travel round the tank and are filled with coarse wire wool to help the oil vapour condense back and gather in the bottom of the tank....if yours dont have one is probibly usless....also would advise fitting a twin tank or even 2 tanks .....read this for a guide.....
