thats probably one of the best cans i've seen.
also
http://www.eliteengineeringusa.com/Catch_Can.html looks good.
main thing is they have filtering medium which most don't have.
the other thing is the size of the inlet/outlet. most are 9mm, for most diesels you need 1/2" 15mm.
unfortunately most that are easily obtained are just empty cans which will need modding.

Diesel service shops usually sell decent sized catch cans, that is where I got one from. The supercheap style cans are a bit small for a big diesel IMO.
Cheers.

somethings majorly wrong if your blowing out a litre of oil. tho some clubs/racing etc have rules on minimum size in case of roll over.
if your having large amounts of oil you simply rig up a return pipe to the sump so it automaticly empties back into the sump.
