Default Need help sourcing an oil breather tank

Progress has been very slow on the 406 swap into my Buick, but I 'm finally getting stuff done.

one of things I want to do is run hoses from the valve covers to a oil breather tank. I want to find a single tank that will allow for 2 -6AN inlets.

To date, I haven't found anything. So I appeal to the collective knowledge of the forum for some guidance.

Not sure of the tank, but #6 is very small for breather lines. I've always seen #10/12 for the line size.

Hey Jody,

I haven't seen a tank with lines that big. The tanks that I sourced from Summit (with single inlets) all have -6 as the inlet.

I have Stef's stuff on mine, but hear Peterson makes good stuff too. Stef's will custom make you anything you want. As Peterson probably will too.

As was mentioned, I wouldn't run any smaller than a -10 line for crankcase breathing and I'd recommend -12 (2 lines, one from each valve cover, and do not "T" them together-- run either twin tanks or a single larger tank with twin inlets.) You don't want any excessive crankcase pressure issues.

Also, the larger line will have a slower velocity and will keep less oil in suspension.

As was mentioned, the "usual suspects" for off the shelf breather tanks include Moroso, Stef's, Peterson, and Canton.
