[pointz]

I need to replace the breathers on my ca18det and would like blue pipe to match my other pipework!

Silicone would do, you can buy it from eBay or demon tweeks or places like that

Doesn't oil break silicone down though?

If you have oil in your breathers you have a problem and no it doesn't fuel does but oil doesn't

Ofc there will be a small amount of oil in the breathers why do people fit catch cans then? lol you telling me your breather pipes are completely clean?

No there's oil vapour but no oil, there not called oil catch cans there called catch cans to catch liquid/vapour

any oil resistant rubber tube should work, but I think that the colour might make it difficult as I think blue tube is usually for water and might not be oil resistant.

I bought some of this to plumb in my catch can and is very good quality. It's black but might be of some use.

They also do some quite nice finishers too

So when catch cans get fluid in what fluid is it? The vapour travels through the pipe to the catch can!

It's some shitty mixture of a bunch of stuff, blow by gasses, water vapour, products of the oil breaking down, bits and pieces out of the oil.

How quickly is this stuff accumulating in the catch can, it really shouldn't build up too quickly.

It barely builds up at all i have had to empty it one in the 2-3 years its been fitted, even then it wasn't full.

You need any Fluro lined silicone hose. Samco, SFS Performance etc can all hook you up.

It must be Fluro lined to resist the oil vapour. Arguably there shouldn't be a lot, but it's prudent to have the lining anyway.

[alanjuggler]

^^ exactly as piman says. if you don't have it flouro lined, it does absorb the oil and go weird.

I'd just use normal 100r6 oil line but if you want it blue

I've used braided Teflon on mine
