Why do you need an oil catch tank?

During engine operation, a so-called crankcase pressure occurs in the crankcase. This pressure (consisting of oil vapors) forms when the oil becomes hot and the crankshaft is immersed in the oil with each revolution.

This crankcase pressure must be removed from the engine, otherwise seals and components will be damaged. Every engine has a ventilation system, which usually consists of two openings. One is located on the engine block and the others on the cylinder head cover. Hoses and a pressure control valve are connected there, which leads the oil vapors back into the intake paths unfiltered (!). The oil vapors are added to the combustion process and burned. However, this inevitably leads to various problems:

The knock resistance decreases, which increases the risk of engine damage

Injection valves, throttle valves, turbocharger compressor housings, intercoolers, sensors and inlet valves are constantly wetted with oil vapor, which in the long term leads to coking on the inlet valves and inlet channels - the result? It can e.g. lead to the valves breaking off

Rough idling, misfires, loss of power and increased fuel consumption are also a result of unfiltered oil vapors

The solution: an oil catch tank

An oil catch tank filters out the oil vapors from the crankcase ventilation. The oil condenses in the oil catch tank and collects in the container. The air cleaned of oil is then returned to the air filter box/intake system.
