Ozzy Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 A gadget that sits between the pedal box and washer bottle. One pipe to plenum, one vent pipe, and one pipe that seems to go off in the direction of the bell housing. I was told this serves no useful purpose, so I may as well get rid of it. I assume I'll have to blank off the pipe to the plenum, but where does the other pipe go??????? Any ideas, Oz.

F355GTS Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Charcoal filter thingy, I think it's right it doesn't do anything, I think the pipe that heads rearward joins up to the filler neck? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Best Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I don't think you can block off the pipe heading toward the back of the cars as it is a fuel tank breather, you will need to block off at the plenum though. I think that's right but I will wait to be corrected. Andy Edited by - Andy Best on 19 Aug 2007 22:44:29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susser Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 The purpose it serves is to absorb fuel vapour when the car is standing, thus preventing the nasty Bezene Rings from getting into the atmosphere. 😔 When the car is started, it allows air to flow through the charcoal filling, thus sucking the fuel/Benzene into the Plenum wher it can be safely (depending on whether you drive safely) burned. How useful it is rather depends on your viewpoint IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
