nowhere, it collects the vapour and cools it down turning it back to liquid. You then empty the can out periodically and dispose of it in your local civic amenity site

So the can just has one pipe leading into it and none out? On their website there is an outlet pipe - where does that go to or is it left as is?
Basically I have a forge catch tank (on car when bought) that has pipe leadinf down into the wing/below battery and its making a mess! I am not sure what the inside of the forge unit is like though. I was wondering if there were other options for this venting pipe.

Mine vents to atmosphere, it just stinks of oil vapour all the time.

outlet goes back to the intake pipe but only after the vapour has passed through the tank. This means the oil in the vapour will have cooled and be a liquid so won't go back into the intake
Put a pic up of yours Aaron as it should really be a closed system. You might just be able to add one pipe and not have it venting

Car is currently stuck in the garage...
Will try get a pick up after. So do most feed back into the TIP? As I said, I have a thick pipe with a filter venting to the atmosphere, down the side of the battery box. I am not keen on it tbh.
