Added a J's Racing Oil Catch Tank...
I installed a J's Racing Oil catch tank on the weekend...
and the hose from the PCV to the catch tank has collapsed at the PCV, see picture below.
Has anyone got any suggestions? I've checked the catch tank and there's no flow problems there...
Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

I had the same issue w/ a different catch can when using that type of hose. I don't think the hose is able to withstand the oil vapors. Replaced mine w/ braided and all is good.

Yea I had the same problem. It's not as pretty but go get some fuel line and use that instead. I asked the same question before and people said they only put on the clear line when taking pictures because it would collapse.

Thanks, well pleased with the tank, it got rid of the nasty plastic reservoir bottle too! Just waiting for a new set of Ricks red billet pulleys, and I'm going to replace the black plastic wrapping on the hood stay with red!
