Thanks for the answer! This is correct the hoses are 5/8
The best way to check on this would be to give our customer service team a call at 1877GOMISHI (their hours are between 10am and 6pm). They would be more than happy to assist you with this as I do not have access to your order information. If you need anything else let me know!
Removing the headlight is one way to do it! There are a few ways to empty the catch can so you have a couple options to choose which will work for your Fiesta.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad to see the catch can is doing its job!

I've had the Mishimoto can on for ~800 miles and about a month now. I decided to open it up to see the accumulation. To do this, I removed the passenger side headlight. Three bolts, took me about 3 minutes to get the headlight out including time looking for tools. T30 torx bit and a phillips head
screwdriver. THen there is plenty of room to stick your hand down there and unscrew the OCC.
The good news is that there was a small puddle at the bottom, but no serious accumulation of oil. Which is to be expected, I guess. The good news is that the catch can is catching oil, and the better news is that it is not catching that much oil, either. This means that despite the Mishimoto can being smaller than some of the other options out there, it doesn't really need to be that big.
I'm interested to see if accumulation increases as we get into the colder months of the winter.

Hi Mercdank,
I apologize for the delay! We are very sorry to hear about that failure. This is the first time we are seeing this issue, but as we speak, our engineers are doing their best to find an immediate fix to the problem. In the meantime, let's get you back on the road. Send us a PM on here so we can get a brand new bracket sent out to you ASAP!!
We don't have a direct fit kit for the 1.5L right now, but we have a universal catch can that should work just fine.
This has been the first time we've seen this happen, but the catch can does its job well. We are working to remedy the situation, but hopefully we don't see this again!
Rest assured our engineers are working on a solution!

Based on this photo, it looks like the outside radius of the bend is contacting the passenger side engine mount. This would tend to transfer vibrational stresses into the OCC mount. Slotting the holes that attach to the engine mount, and pushing the mount away from the corner shown as burnished in the photograph should eliminate the fatigue loading that appears to be responsible for the failure. A photograph of the fracture face would be helpful to tell if this is a fatigue failure. Perhaps even pushing the mount away from the corner, without slotting the holes would be enough to prevent failure.
