fuel vapour canister / charcoal canister

[gtegary]

I went to replace the fuel hoses on my canister and stupidly pulled to hard and broke the pipes off.

Does anyone one know a way around fixing this? I am on the look out for another second hand one but no one has had one yet.

Is there any other cars hat have the same canister I could use? or is there anyway of bypassing it? I don't want to block it off as its a fuel vent and there for a reason.

Or do you have one you are willing to sell?

In case you dont know its the stupid looking filter/canister thing tucked into the passenger side front wing.

Just bin it and have the pipes venting to air

That's what I did on mine. Unnecessary mud trap.

Failing that is it steel? Could weld on a new outlet assuming there's no fuel/vapours in it!

[gtegary]

Cool cheers. It's plastic, I did try to repair it with copper pipe and expoy but it didn't work

Just delete it or maybe get one from a scrapped Corsa.

Is that the thing that lives in the front n/s wheel well?

[Iain]

Yes

[chrisd1986]

I've never actually seen one of these before

[totalnova]

I'm going to be installing my 1.8 16v so I won't be needing mine.

[gtegary]

Total nova I will om you.

[gtegary]

Total nova I will om you.

I had never seen one In all my history of novas as all mine have been mk1 until this one.

If I bin it, shall I just clip the pipes up and leave it venting in the wheel arch?
