fuel in carbon canister pipe

[chrisdurham]

hi guys,

just a quick question, when we changed over the hose that runs from the carbon canister to petrol tank, there was a fair bit of fuel in it, i assumed it would have just been vapour? but there was quite a bit.

There was also some kind of valve sitting behind the petrol tank in the line - what is its function?

cheers

i might be wrong but i think the valve is a cut off for if the car rolls over.

the fuel may of been in the pipe because the purge canister is not working or been disconnected its supposed to take in vapors not neat petrol unless you had a recent fill up/brim
