The (NEW) hose off the PCV has the Air breather teed into it and the NEW hose is fed into the ARC...Works fine..

In some of the equipment I work with, we have dual stage oil seperators. Its a tighter packed fine material with a semi-tight coarser material on the top.
The theory is the vapors collects on the coarse material, drips down and soaks into the fine material where it saturates there. The coarser material helps keep the finer material compressed and out of the system.
I still would want an inline filter just in case. This dual system is used on an oil return system that is under a high and low pulsation of 210 - 45 psi. It collects oil vapor from a compressor outlet and returns it back to the oil side of the system.
I'm not to sure how it will work under vacuum but it works great under pressure. I have an HKS Catch can that I'm installing when I get home and I'll this out and tell how it works out.
EDIT: I was just thinking, has any one added the catch can to the vacuum assit mod for idle stabilization. If so how do you have it routed. I'm needing to do the stabilization mod.

Arc
I have an ARC catch tank on an NA engine and after 2 track events at high RPM, I filled the tank! I routed the 2 breather holes that vent to the atmosphere into the right front wheel well so I don't have any oil smell, but it dumps oil on my right front wheel well. Some people say this is normal. I think thats BS. Its been 2 years since Ive had to empty it and now 2 times?? Do you think theres anything wrong with my engine?
