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

That's one very clean n tidy engine bay!

The keen score has already been discussed

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]

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

Green peace

 

[fett]

beat you to it noisy

 

[Mr Noisy]

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

 

[Mr Noisy]

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

 

[fett]

 

[jamesmartin]

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]

were both right, and james is a nob :hysterically_laughi

 

[jamesmartin]

if it makes you feel better

 

[Mr Noisy]

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]

funny we still only got 11 mpg though :doh:

 

[Mr Noisy]

Too little too late methinks!

 

[fett]

yeah , ****canned my 3.9 now

 

[vougese39]

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
