Has anyone connected TKO 600 vent to an oil puke tank?

dcdoug Doug I have 2 tanks to help keep the oil off the track. 1 for the trans and the other for the rearend. I have fire blanket covering the tunnel in the car. Alot of heat in there and has no place to go. Don C. is the only guy I know who ran a snorkle scoop to the rearend of the car. It helps to cool the inner brakes and rear diff. I have had to add tanks to help control the pressure in the trans and rearend of the car. The rearend had a vent tube like Pat T has on his car. Mine just gets hotter from track time. I added a smaller breather tank with filter to help keep the oil off the track. The oil goes back into the rearend when cooled off. The same works for the trans. I am going to a pump and cooler because again of too much heat in the tunnel. I have 2 small 4" fans to move the air in the tunnel but getting cooler air into the tunnel is a pain and not burning up the fans too. Some cars have more room under the car for tanks, coolers, and pumps than ERA has. There are no problems with ERA cars for street driving and track. I went too a more safety approach for racing.
If you have the room, IMO I see no problem with adding them to the drivetrain as long as you check the fluids on a regular basic check. Water doesn't mix with oil and if the car is run in wet weather or puddles, you can have a problem with water doing damage to drive train bearings and other steel parts. Condemsation does happen. My fluids are changed after 3-4 track meets. Fluid is cheap and this gives me a chance to catch any damage that may start to happen to trans or rearend. Good Luck Rick L.
