Need to see where both ends of the rubber hoses connect, to make sure its hooked up correctly - can't see the other ends with the engine cover on...

 

[jwheeler]

Yeah, I'd like to see where the other ends go. Have you opened it and taken a look inside it just going off the indicator on the side? My truck has a lot more miles on it but I get several ounces at every oil change.

Open the can up and lets see a pic of the inside of it to, along with a pic of where it's hooked up to,and did you use heater hose to plumb it,that's a no-no,heater hose collasps under vaccumn

what I did was like you did but my hoses cross and go into the nipples furthest from them if that makes sense

 

[doz]

What can do you have?

Swap the hoses around could be backwards?

 

[MADDOG]

Yeah, I'd like to see a pic of what's hooked up to what and what kind of hose you used.

No way a functional catch can wouldn't have any oil in it after a couple thousand miles. There is either a problem with your can, hoses, or where you have them hooked up.

Time to take it apart to inspect the inside of the can and confirm that the hoses are connected properly.

i will show you all tomorrow, I moved to tampa,fl from Pennsylvanian I though for sure I would have oil in it, you don't screw the lid off, you just undo a nut to pour it out

here is a link to the can I bought

as far as hose goes, idk what hose I use, I cannot remember, what hose should I get if I have the wrong stuff ? can I get it at auto zone ?

Use rubber fuel line hose. It is internally reinforced which will prevent the hose from collapsing under pressure/vacuum. And yes, you could get it at auto zone.

strange but true story I swear. When driving in the city my cc would catch the normal (if that's possible) amount of blow by??? On a 6500 mile trip I opened it to find it had zero product, back to city driving afterwards and it collected as usual. Beats me.

 

[hemi_hawk]

Just drove from tampa florida to erie,pa and its bone dry

 

[Hemi450hp]

You either have it installed wrong, or there is something inside the can that is blocking airflow. It is not physically possible for that can to be bone dry after that many miles.

 

[Crashno1]

Is that price right?
