Pic Request For Aftermarket Overflow Reservoirs/Catch Cans

I need to get a new catch can/reservoir for my car. The original is somewhat lacking in the clean dept and I am looking for a cylindrical stainless steel one I can somewhat hideaway. Thanks all!

Are you talking about a PCV system oil catch can, or a coolant overflow tank?


If you're talking about the coolant tank, put a 4th gen one in the car. I did it to my car and it looks a lot better, and acts as a battery tray.

I was referring to a coolant overflow. I just need something out of the way to mount.

I think that you are wanting something like this...they are the "Universal Spinners" overflow & windshield washer tanks mounted on each side of the Radiator!

I used a coolant overflow/washer tank from a Ford Explorer. Was pretty cheap - put it where the evap canister was, so it's kinda symetrical with the battery. Can kinda see it in this pic:

3rd gen overflow and washer fluid tanks are still available brand new. Really dresses up an engine compartment.
