When you roll out of the go kart shop and hit the grid, managing crankcase pressure is just as critical to winning as dialing in your parts for tires or strapping on the latest aerodynamic karting helmets. The BWC Fat Boy Carbon Fiber Catch Tank delivers the superior oil and vapor management required to maintain peak engine performance. Engineered with a significantly larger outer diameter than the standard BWCFCT2, this high-capacity catch can handles heavy vapor loads without risking overflow during aggressive endurance runs.
Maximize Briggs and Stratton LO206 Horsepower
In competitive kart racing, sustained power delivery is everything. Blow-by and crankcase pressure buildups can severely throttle your acceleration and rob you of top-end speed. By efficiently venting these internal pressures, the Fat Boy Catch Tank ensures your engine breathes freely. Whether you are looking to maximize your briggs and stratton lo206 horsepower or stabilize a modified clone, clean venting translates directly to precise ignition timing, consistent torque delivery, and fewer oil spots on the track. The carbon fiber construction offers an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio, keeping your chassis perfectly balanced for razor-sharp cornering and rapid corner-exit recovery.
Advanced Venting for Rotax Engines and High-Output Builds
Maintenance between heats needs to be fast and flawless. This catch tank features a highly convenient MCP bleeder drain integrated directly at the base, allowing for effortless emptying without removing the entire unit. Dual versatile fittings provide flexible hose routing options to accommodate various engine configurations, including high-revving rotax engines. Stop wasting time on messy pit-lane cleanups and focus on your race strategy with a component built for the podium.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why should I choose the Fat Boy version over the standard catch tank?
A: The Fat Boy features a significantly larger outer diameter, providing increased internal volume. This is essential for endurance racing or high-output engines where managing higher volumes of oil and vapor is necessary to prevent overflow.
Q: Is this catch tank compatible with my LO206 engine?
A: Yes, the BWC Fat Boy is specifically engineered to optimize crankcase pressure for the Briggs & Stratton LO206, helping to maintain consistent torque and peak horsepower throughout your race.
Q: How do I empty the catch tank during a race day?
A: This unit features an integrated MCP bleeder drain at the base. Simply open the valve to drain the collected oil and vapor without needing to remove or disassemble the tank from your kart.
Q: Can I use this on a 2-cycle engine like a Rotax?
A: Absolutely. The dual-fitting design and high-capacity volume make it a versatile choice for various engine configurations, including high-revving 2-cycle powerplants that require efficient venting.
Q: Does the carbon fiber construction offer any performance benefits beyond weight?
A: Beyond its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, the carbon fiber construction is highly durable and resistant to the harsh vibrations and heat cycles found in competitive karting environments.
