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.

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\

They have some excellent quality but $250 for a catch can kit is steep...

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

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.

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.
