Right just noticed that in my engine bay i used to have a canister of some sort on the nearside strut tower i no not all 3sge's have them, Fuel lines running into it, anyhow i don't know where it is and i think it vents the tank?

What should i do with the pipes one is rubber that comes up underneath and one is metal that runs across the strut top.

Any idea please?

Just can smell fuel vapors from it when running.

Oh yeh and what should mpg be like i am getting 187km's to £30 at 97.9 a litre is that good or bad?

Thats the evap cannister - i would think the easiest thing would be to put it back on. Definately don't want the tank venting into the engine bay

i don't know where it is lol, i thought maybe if i connect the pipes together and run them into the tb or is that a stupid idea

[Garbe]

Come to think of it iirc mines a rev1 and it vents to the atmoshere via a little filter type thing down in the corner of the engine bay near to the fuel filter. Put up a wanted i'm sure someone's got one knocking around

Yeah needs the evap and valve or you could suck ya tank inside out :-) You need the valve and the ECU to control when it opens or you get full manifold vacuum in ya tank :doh:

Cheers for the help :thumbsup:
