I'm bored so thought I would ask something which is in the back of my mind....

I fitted a mich catch can a few months ago and after reading a few threads I was expecting it to gave to empty it every couple of months based on my usage and miles.

So fast forward 6 months and 5k miles and I don't appear to have anything in the can!

Now, admitdly I haven't actually tried to empty it, but it has a spy tube and there is no evidence of anything going in.

In the back of my mind I suppose I'm a little anxious that the heater hose I decided to use to plumb it in is somehow having a bearing on stuff, but that's just probably me being a 'tard

What's the outcome if for whatever reason there is a block somewhere between the crankcase and going back into the TIP for a prolonged period of time?

If it's blocked, it usually ends up leaking oil past the rocker cover.

I'm sure you can just take the tube off and blow in it to see if it's blocked.

I had mine around 6 month also and had virtually no oil in mine, so wouldn't worry. When I drained it to check I had mostly condensation!

Cheers hutchy.

By blocked what I meant was when I was having trouble with the pipe coming away from the TIP I noticed that the pipe out the top of the engine had collapsed. Only saw it like that once, maybe twice, but thought It was worth mentioning.

Heater hose isn't oil/fuel proof is it?

I cover circa 15k miles a year and mine got upto about a quarter on sight glass over a year,so they don't blow a lot out tbh.

It just looks a lot when you look inside a TIP as it spreads a bout a long way.

I was told is was ok to use, but have been looking at this item 230977571103 on the 'bay as a replacement?

When I get a some spare time I'll take it apart and see what it has collected.
