Emptied my Catch Can Today……..

<< < (5/10) > >>

....

Returned home tonight after a 512-mile journey to find my catch can has emptied itself! Yellow custard gunk. The 'wing-nut' is tight up against the brass nut against the underside of the wretched tank - Tightened up anti-clockwise as I understood from stokeballoon.

WTF am I doing wrong!?

QD MBE:
The wing nut needs to be wound fully out, away from the underside of the catch can.

Well, I now conclude that my 'wrongly' routed hoses are now 'correctly' routed without anyone changing them.

However, in spite of the tap being very tight it still spews oily gunk. I'm changing my catch tank anyway to one which has a sight feature. I'm sorry, I wish I could say otherwise but to be honest I'm not greatly impressed by BSH - Just my personal opinion :smiley:

Robin,

The tap at the bottom - Have you wound it all the way in up against the base of the can?  If so it is wide open.  The tap needs to be fully out to be shut, Bear in mind it is a left hand thread too. 

All the way to the bottom is correct, ie fully out.  I have had no probs with mine at all.

HTH

Gotcha! Cheers! :drinking:

No wonder - I've been running with it fully open. Very illogical design for doing things imo.

QD MBE:
I agree, it is totally the opposite to what you think.
