Close Up Of Water Collection Bottle

This picture gives you a better idea of what the completed set up looks like. At first I was concerned about heat from the exhaust riser but an infrared thermometer confirmed that the bottle stays plenty cool and besides it fits well.


The blue tape on the back wall is a reminder of the engine hours when I last changed the oil. It's a crude system but it keeps a good in-compartment oil-change record.

I write engine yours on the oil filter with a Sharpie, two places so no matter how it comes to rest you can see one. doesn't work so well with oil filters that are painted black :-(

Why not use another coolant recovery bottle so the water can just drain back ?

Wouldn't a check valve serve the same purpose and not need to be emptied?
Stop water from coming out the end of the vent tube, but let air down the tube towards the seal.

You really change the oil every 30 hours?
