This would work just fine with some modifications..
On intake fitting from Aos clamp on a tube going almost to the bottom of the tank , some steel mesh to filter, and route back to Aos .

If you were willing to modify the can with an extended inlet pipe and add some type of filter, I think the can could easily be adapted to fit our cars. Price isn't bad either.

Mine is just an open can with a baffle.
I have it in a cool, vented spot.
Startup water condences there very effectively, along with minute traces of oil.
I have made MANY posts here about the drawbacks of elliminating vacuum from the AOS, so I won't do it again.

He explained that the oil vapor will collect and form droplets inside the can - yeah right.

... But would it be possible to mount the catch can in the fender-well if routing back to intake? or would the hoses be to long ?
