What do catch cans do?

Catch cans are simple devices that are installed to capture oil from the PCV port in a designated container and allow cleaned air to return to the engine. This system is critical to ensure long engine life.

Does a catch can really work?

Yes. Catch cans work on a simple principle. When gas enters the catch can, the volume dramatically increases, reducing the pressure of the gas. As the velocity of the gas slows, the gas inside the can condenses. The greater the surface area inside the catch can, the more effective the separation of liquid from the gas.

Consider installing a catch can for a diesel, turbocharged engine to improve its performance. Combustion engines work more efficiently if the air entering the engine for combustion is clean. While reducing emissions and fuel consumption, a catch can will ultimately extend the life of your engine.

Are catch cans illegal?

Yes! Catch cans are absolutely legal, and on some superbly designed diesel engines, they actually come as a standard feature.

Does a catch can add horsepower?

No. However, installing a catch can will make sure your engine is highly efficient with a clean intake tract, free of oil. It will prevent high performance vehicles from any damage, such as oil contamination leading to overheating engines.

What is an oil catch can?

An oil catch can is an oil/air separator that can be installed in vehicles to clean the engine intake air. It can have a simple design as a basic can with hoses attached or may be more advanced, with internal baffling to provide more surface area for oil to condense.

Catch Cans For Turbocharged Engines

Natrad has a range of catch cans designed to protect your vehicle and fit in the available installation space. A catch can cleans the engine intake air, removing harmful pollutants that reduce the life of your car’s working parts.

A catch can filters oil particles from PCV/CCV systems to protect the intercooler and intake from blow-by of polluted air. Protect your engine and reduce emissions with a catch can installed by a Natrad specialist technician at your local store.

Diesel Catch Cans

For optimum performance, your vehicle's engine needs to have clean intake air. Too often engine intake air is polluted by the exhaust, compromising the performance of your engine. A catch can with a filter can remove the oil and pollution from the air, ensuring that engine performance is optimized.

Catch cans filter oil particles from the PCV/CCV systems, protecting the intercooler and engine intake from pollution. We have catch cans available for performance diesel engines, with a compact design for easy fitting to your vehicle.

If required, two catch cans can be installed in parallel for enhanced air filtration. Our range caters for your budget and performance requirements. A Natrad specialist can help you select the right catch can for your engine. We'll also supply the hoses and valves needed for installation.

If we don't have a catch can in stock, we'll source it for you
