Installation notes
Mount the tank upright, below the engine breather outlets if possible, and well away from exhaust heat. Use oil-resistant hose with AN fittings that match the ports, avoid low spots and kinks where oil can pool, and check and drain the tank regularly. Venting crankcase gases to atmosphere may not suit every road vehicle, so check local requirements. The Menin Motorsport workshop in Pretoria can plumb it in for you.
