Catch can always empty

Hello,
I bought my 13 ZL1 with 11k mi and drained catch can and got a few ounces out. Car supposedly had never been tracked.

So I have put 4500mi on it with 3 track days and 3 more days at lsFest this past weekend. By the way if you haven't gone you don't know what your missing!!

With that being said should there be anything collected at this point. Not a drop comes out. Idk if there is one way valve in drain but I tried to blow a little shop air in it to see if it was clogged or something but it wouldn't take any air so I stopped.

If no air went through it then you know what's wrong, the can.

Can you post some pictures of your can and routing? Over time, the contents can "congeal" into a thick sludge that may not drain freely. If so, stick a zip tie or similar up into the drain to see if that helps.


Post pics and we can guide you.
