Hey,
once again a question due to the rules http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif. In the Inspection sheet of FSG:
CATCH TANKS - Any coolant overflow, crankcase breather or lube system vents must have separate catch tanks. One quart (0.5 l) minimum each each. 100 deg. C mat'l., behind firewall, below shoulder level. 3 mm min. dia. vent away from driver. PCV allowed if routed to the intake system upstream of the restrictor. Cannot attach breather to exhaust.
What means the 100 deg ???
And in the official SAE rules it stands:
B8.11.2 Separate catch cans must be employed to retain fluids from any vents for the coolant system or the crankcase or engine lubrication system. Each catch-can must have a minimum volume of ten (10) percent of the fluid being contained or 0.9 liter (one U.S. quart) whichever is greater.
Don't now if im completley wrong^^ but there is some difference isn't it? It doesn't stand in the FSG Rules...
regards Phil
