Lol, 3 ringgit difference.
Come we make higher quality ones using metal bottles

Have mah! Fuel injected cars fuel filter is made of metal, but much more expensive

much more expensive in term of price gap but still cheap.
only thing u cannot see through the container.not sure if the filter material can stand heat as its design to filter petrol which will be lower in temperature.
some cheapo version uses tissue like material...so must bw careful.

But dunno whether got use good stuff for filter material anot

Depends on car model. Mine around RM40 to 60, but like bro. gunnerzz mentioned cannot see inside. I still prefer my plastic ones......lol

Lol, I guess I have joined the lazy gang. Not sure when my oil catch tank can finish making. I'll just put in the iswara fuel filter first.

Eyh, shit, I just realised I connected wrongly. Lol.

Follow the arrow. PCV to filter in then filter out to inlet manifold.....

Just go Daiso and get PET bottles. Run gas hoses through it with metal mesh, done. Mine started to collect oil dy, lesser than I thought.

Can I get a clearer picture on MyVI OCT implementation? Noob here and very interested with installing OCT on my 2006 1.3 MyVi. Very sorry to bro Izso as I don't see the host clear enough going from where to where and which one is intake and outtake.

Are you going to use a proper OCT can or one of those fuel filters?

Have not decided yet.
Is there a difference? Probably going to those ready made cans where some have 2 ports and some 3 ports.

i don't recommend what I did with the fuel filter. I found out later that it deformed and ended up clogging the inlet. It made it a lot worse. Better to use a proper OCT canister.

Vacuum is too strong. If the filter is always dry then its ok. Once the filter is wet with oil (which it will) this will cause it harder to suck thru the filter and the air will pressure will crush the filter.

Ahh..I see. Definitely do not want it to cause more problems than benefits. In that case, do you have any OCT canister to recommend? For MyVI, is something like this good enough?
