What Dimensions? LxBxH? Is there a rule to calculate with?

What about fittings dimensions? In, Out & Top?

In general, the bigger, the better. The larger the volume, the more room for baffles and the more time the oil vapour has to condense and drop out of the air.
My thoughts on size:
Street car running up to 15 psi - 0.5 to 1 litre in volume.
Street car running over 15 psi - minimum 1 litre in volume.
Race car - 2 litres minimum.
