cuppas Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 the charcoal canister contains activated charcoal. i think fuel vapour from the tank goes into this and is absorbed by the charcoal it doesnt hurt to have one of these. smaller canister will generally mean that the activated charcoal will become fuel-saturated over time, im fairly sure its an ADR that the charcoal canister is there possibly you shouldnt take all of that as gospel though, i only learned it at tafe last semester... and i was fair hungover that day =D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/231046-part-engine-bay/page/2/#findComment-4066390 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problems keeping mine in place its got a job and if it keeps the boys in blue happy heck ill leave it....i would like a smaller one though if it was possible lol After half hour on google im not seeing anything...although the design is fairly straight forward so i cant see why these wouldnt be interchangable between car makes and models so wreckers might be an idea Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/231046-part-engine-bay/page/2/#findComment-4066717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
