Charcoal canister, turning it into oil catch can

[derku]

G'day,

Whats inside a charcoal canister? I ask because I am thinking about cutting one up and turning it into an oil catch can. The reason to use the charcoal canister is to keep a stock/stealth look rather than the typical ebay oil cach cans.

A picture for reference:

Anyone done this before?

Cheers,

^ahh yeah, I guess should have searched there before asking. Thanks. Time to scour the wreckers for one now =]

Bad idea. And you should be using a baffled one anyway. Most ebay ones arent.

Yeah, just the usual cut open and whack some perforated aluminium plates inside, nothing fancy. Just like the stealth look of the canister over the generic chrome crap. Maybe hack up a power steering fluid reservoir
