Ok go the bulk firing, next on the list is the "purge" line....

...Talking to a gent the other day who mention that there is a line with a charcol filter from the tank....?

Any ideas?

Correct for a 3.9 it's housed in the round canister, bottom centre of pic.

What does it do, and why does it do it?

Thanks

collects vapour from the tank to burn on the overun to save fuel

Mr Noisy · Oct 20, 2011

It absorbs the fuel vapour that collects in the tank. It does this to avoid expelling it to the atmosphere, afaik.

Green peace

beat you to it noisy

Mr Noisy · Oct 20, 2011

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

Mr Noisy · Oct 20, 2011

AND you got the right answer fett, I didn't really know but your explanation does make sense!

fett · Oct 21, 2011

jamesmartin · Oct 21, 2011

but mr noisy your explanation was nearer, it is to stop the fuel vapour escaping ,it stores it in charcoal canister till can be burnt when engine running

fett · Oct 21, 2011

were both right, and james is a nob :hysterically_laughi

jamesmartin · Oct 21, 2011

if it makes you feel better

Mr Noisy · Oct 21, 2011

Right I understand. I thought it was more likely to be to do with emissions, but the fuel save makes sense.

Two birds one stone there. All good.

And a nice jolly end to the thread. Pure bliss

fett · Oct 21, 2011

funny we still only got 11 mpg though :doh:

Mr Noisy · Oct 21, 2011

Too little too late methinks!

fett · Oct 21, 2011

yeah , ****canned my 3.9 now

it is only fitted to cat equiped engines so any range rover or d1 after 1992 will have it fitted.
if you are using one of these looms on a no cat engine then leave the plug disconnected
