[QUOTE="bikerider, post: 471915, member: 23591"] I am going to do something like that instead. I have decided against the valve at the bottom. The project is a home made boat motor, the bottom being an Evinrude 6hp and the power head being a 6.5hp Briggs and Stratton engine from a pressure washer. I removed the stock air box and added a cone filter. For the breather setup I have a hose running up past the cone filter with a two way filter on top. On my last test run I noticed that after running for a while oil was starting to come out of that two way filter a bit and I do not want to spill any oil in the lake, hence the catch can. I definitely could buy a catch can but as you might have guessed, I enjoy building things and had an old can of seafoam laying around. My current idea for the can is to have it sit with the cap at top like it would on the shelf and drill a hole near the top for the breather filter and then drill the cap and run the hose coming from the engine's breather into the can almost to the bottom. I should be able to unscrew the bottle from the cap when the time comes to drain it. [/QUOTE]
