It was tight enough to stay in but just for good measure I added some "Seal All" adhesive.

I'm reminded by the wife, no need for a spreadsheet.

To get the incoming air below the filter media. As the other side pulls the vacuum above the filter media. That way it's filtered before returning into the intake.

This raises the old question of which hose goes where on the catchcans.com version again. I believe the final consensus was that the inlet (valve cover hose) should come into the top chamber. This way gravity and vacuum direction helps the drops through the filter and into the bottom of the can. What @Kenny D has done here is the opposite. IIRC, there was an argument for hooking them up this way: the dirty air comes in by all the crud and is forced up through the filter and out. Why would you want the outlet (hose to intake) coming from the same chamber as all the crud? Then the argument for the other: the filter will only drops will only fall from the filter when the engine is off because of vacuum direction... Thoughts anybody?

If looking at a "water trap" for an air compressor, the incoming air is drawn in to the bowl, sucked up through the filter, and then to the final location. The air is filtered and the bowl retains the impurities.

This was also my inclination. It was confusing to me why the catchcans.com ones all get hooked up the other way. Anybody else in my boat?
