*****If you are going to add a second fitting to the valve cover, page 1 is a must read.

these are the tools you will need to build your own catch can.
there is one tool that i used that is not easily available.
the tool to the far right is called a 1" copper flare tool.I went to home depot to price one and it seems they do not carry it. So you will have to use a hole saw or a step bit and debur the hole with a file... not a big deal. It will change some steps in the making of the can .
First of all please use a empty can. double check that it is empty. If it is not empty burn off all the fuel with a camping oven or torch.
build the catch can at you're own risk. By attempting to build this catch can you are agreeing to take full responsibility if harm comes to you ,your home or any by standers. This is only meant to be a guide.
after and only after you fully empty the can get a small pair of needle nose pliers and slowly remove the valve stem needle. If you start to hear a hissing sound tighten the needle back up put the tank back on the torch or oven and burn the fuel off.
this is what the needle looks like when removed.
remove the fill needle in the same manner as the first.
needle removed.
IMPORTANT:now fill the tank with water. this will expel any lingering fumes inside the bottle.
leave the needles out of the bottle and use a hacksaw or saws-all to remove the center threaded section.
