Universal fluid containers collection
 
I need a place to put what I run across for future reference. For anyone interested, I refuse to even consider the polished/chrome/candy painted crap. So dont bother pointing me to Greddy/Moroso/etc pieces.

I'll add more as I come across them, if I remember to.

FWIW I like the Vibrant one on the bottom, but i hate the idea of paying $100 for an anodized tube with caps on the end.

Would help if you pointed out the manufacturers / pn of each :)

I agree about the Vibrant one. Looks nice though.

I am running the first one you posted now but it is a bit wide. The cap is good though and the item is very sturdy. I got it on Amazon.

I ran this one for a while but the cap is not very good and I couldn't find one that fit but it was only $10.00 at advance auto parts and it fits perfect.

This weekend I will be experimenting with using two of these as a SOHN reservoir ($10.00 on Ebay and surprisingly of good quality).

I have that red but in the regular metal color. I am always afraid that something will go wrong with it since it was so cheap, but so far it has been working fine.

9krpmrx8 03-08-2010 09:38 PM

It was cheap but pretty well built. I removed all the fittings and sealed them with RTV so there should be no leaking issues.

the first one is a random generic you can find anywhere, made by Dorman or something like that. The other as mentioned, is Vibrant\

paulmasoner 03-26-2010 08:49 AM

thats not $250. i think the other model they make might be, didnt look close. That one retails for ~$115. I found it for well under $100

I'm using a Yamaha two stroke oil container in case you are curious. It's not mounted yet.

9krpmrx8 03-26-2010 09:24 PM

Nice, I thought about doing that, just couldn't find one to fit in the spot I wanted it.

sauceyI986 03-27-2010 02:42 AM

Neat. Place but to much stuff in the engine bay for me i'm will reducing the windshield container to something more compact and neat I like the catch can pics tho.

9krpmrx8 03-27-2010 10:20 PM

I use my washer fluid all the time so I need all the capacity I can get.

That looks familiar. Air/Water seperators make great catch cans.

For fun, you can bore out the air pump and use the case to help hide it.

paulmasoner 04-02-2010 05:41 AM

yep, this one came from something like what you see here

I probably wont go to the trouble of trying to hide it or anything. I dont particularly care about stealthiness, just simple OE looking and functional.
