Booger it

[POPEYE]

Just been outbid on a oil catch can (again) their going for big money, whats inside one? is it possible to make one? looks like a fancy tin can with a sight glass on to me, or is there some kind of filter in there,
I made this smoke gen tank a while back, so i'm ok with soldering etc, should be able to manage a can to catch oil in
if anyone has a pic of a cross section of one i'd be obliged,
Ian

Oh no it was for a model ship, to create funnel smoke, uses a mix of parrafin and light oil, the actual smoke gens are from a model shop, all it is is a small fillement in a glass tube, when switched on (via radio con) it gets hot and oil draws up the tube (capilary action) and burns creating smoke, never managed to get black smoke tho,
the surf has its own built in smoke generator, (engine)
