I have a much larger, more sophisticated, two chamber, billet aluminum catch can on my Camaro, that is plumbed back into the intake manifold. Intake valves become badly coked, very quickly on these direct injection engines, without a good catch can.

Thought it might be a bit of over kill to use one like that on my little plastic scooter....so made one from a plastic pill bottle.

Whatever you decide to do....I might suggest you don't let the liquids drain back into your crankcase. If you could smell the stuff I've collected, you'd probably understand why I say that. Acids and who knows what do form in these condensed vapors..... some have said they don't see a problem with it, because of the small quantity....

I wouldn't put that stuff back into my oil....anymore than I would pour a cap full of vinegar, or bleach in it.
