joe17 thanks for replay but i don't know about what you are talking ?B8.11.4

B8.11.4 refers to a section in the FSAE rules.

B8.11.4 Any catch can on the cooling system must vent through a hose with a minimum internal diameter of 3 mm (1/8 inch) down to the bottom levels of the Frame.

Actually, I think B8.11.2 refers more specifically to the question.

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.

But then remember that this can also has to be vented per B8.11.4 listed above. But also be sure to read the rest of rule B8.11 so you know what you need for a catch can.

I feel very helpful today.
