Whist I'm still on BC! - Charcoal filter?


grumpy the 7th

Recommended Posts

Whilst I've got the car (K series) on stands doing the service

Does anybody know what the charcoal filter actually does? apart from add weight. It's been on the car for the last 20 years without any looking at  *rolleyes* ?

Can it be removed? Does it affect MOT emissions? If it can be removed - how? (there was a link some while back but that post is now blanked)

I have a few rubber pipes coming out of the fuel tank, 2 go through under the car each side of the transmission tunnel another goes near the braided fuel hose and one goes somewhere?

thanks

All in the boot - I abandoned the black plastic pipe going to the cannister (in situ) and connected the valve to the filler neck in its place. Sure I did a loop within the filler cover in the boot then dropped it down by the end of the tank.

There were posts I read and the workshop notice to follow.

presume the sytec valve is fitted so petrol can't come out of the pipe but air can get back into the fuel tank. (Question, if some fuel is held back by the valve then if and when the tank needs to draw air in does the fuel held back by the valve leak out?)

Also, I presume the pipe from the filter to the fuel rail has to come off. Do I simply block off the fuel rail inlet?

Pipes re-wrapped and polished............. Still looking for jobs to do

cheers
