[QUOTE="brkntrxn, post: 8009419, member: 12396"] Figured I would post this up in here as well since it fits with this thread... Some background on why I made a diff vent can. I have a diff cooler in my car, but I am having an occassional issue of diff fluid being burped or slung out of the vent tube on the top of the case. This only happens on hard left hand turns such as T4 at VIR and T1 at CMP and this only started after I began running slicks on the car. So, I am led to believe that this is not a heat related issue, but a g-force related issue. Here is my differential vent can setup. - several feet of 5/16" hose - couple of small clamps - one large clamp - small clamp - metal soap dispenser bottle - small air filter - NPT to 5/16" barb - JB Weld!!!!!! The hose is secured to the vent nipple on the top of the diff with a small hose clamp. I cut a hole in the trunk pan using a small hole saw and lined the hole using some hose split in half. At no point do I have a low spot in the routing of the hose and that is what determined where I cut the hole in the trunk pan. The setup is fashioned so that if any fluid is expelled out the vent at the top of the diff and happens to make it all the way to the vent can, it will drain right back into the diff... as opposed to staying in the can. I wanted to put the NPT barb in the absolute bottom of the can, but that would have forced me to have a low dip in the hose therefore preventing drain back. I also wanted to mount this in a location that would not force me to move it for when I install a roll bar at some point in the future (if we bring the rear tubes back this far). For those of you that are unaware of my unabashed usage of metal soap dispenser bottles from Bed, Bath and Beyond, refer to this thread on my catch can: [url]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/new-edge-cobras-51/555809-winter-mods-2-catch-can-panel-etc.html[/url] [ATTACH=full]1016622[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
