Who uses them? How do I plumb one in? Where would I get one used in good condition?
Pics would be cool to!

Hey Tee,
Why would you want a puke tank? Do you feel a need to know what was for lunch?

Tee, a lot of the drag boat guys use them. You might want to go on the www.dragboats.com (http://www.dragboats.com) web site, click on the classifieds section and place a free "wanted to buy" ad. Good luck, R/R

Tee, I machined the breather stands on my valve covers to accept a big pipe thread (3/4 I think), and then plumbed to the tank with AN lines. It is a very nice setup, really helps keep the top end clean even when running hard. Mine's mounted on a plate off the front of the motor so that I can get to it easily for maintenance. The installation was height limited by the hatch, otherwise I would have mounted it higher. Here's a pic:

Puke Tanks are generally used for applications that run a lot of RPM for extended periods or Drag Racing and blow oil out of normal engine breathers. Generally attached with a number 16 or 20 AN hose size. Our tanks have 1" NPT thread in each end and the Valve cover breather vents have a -16 AN female thread. Let me know if we can help.
