Oil breather question that might be dumb.

I see so many car fires at events I go to that I'm trying to do what I can during my engine swap to prevent them. so far I have pretty much all the flammable plumbing on the intake side of the engine away from the exhaust heat. At sandblast rally a couple weeks ago there was a fire where the car had rolled on its side and something was getting on the header. It got me thinking about my oil breather that I still need to build. I was going to use one of the little aluminum cans with a filter on top and it fits best on the exhaust side of the engine. But now I'm gonna move it away from there and wondering if I just put a draft tube on it with a u at the top if that would be smarter to help prevent oil from gushing out if the thing is on its side or upside down. I could locate the tank on one side of the engine and the draft tube on the other so it wouldn't leak when rolled on either side of the car. I'm probably just being anal but I'd prefer not to burn my car down or myself and co-driver wife.

Anybody else have any better ideas? Maybe there's a check valve or pcv that could go in the line to prevent oil from just flowing out of it?

Like I said probably a dumb question.

By the way this is the old black and red xr4ti that has been posted on here about for last 15 years. We raced it back in August and had engine issues so I put a 2.5L Duratec in it with a turbo. It should see another event this summer.
