3rd Fuel pipe?
Just finishing off putting my 86 back together, however since I didn't stip it down, I'm a little confused about the 3rd fuel pipe, that goes to the enigne bay. What does it do, and where does it connect to, I stole this image from IanG (Thanks dude Smile). to help explain what I mean, seems to connect to the black canister?

Thanks,
Jason

The black canister is a charcoal canister. It absorbs and stores the hazardous hydrocarbon fumes from the gas tank when the engine is shut off. As soon as you start the engine it sucks in and consumes the hydrocarbons that have been stored in the canister.

Ah that would make sense, so its only vapours from the tank in that pipe, not actually liquid petrol?
