    just vents petrol fumes back into tank from cc. your tank has overflow pipe so she won't pressure up I have removed them off loads of cars with no problem.

    Cool cheers bud just pointless having the CC, also because it has plastic wings it just rattles around in there

    Actually, the flow is from the tank, to the charcoal canister.

    You could just route it to the engine side of the former 3-way valve, to pipe the fumes back into either the manifold at idle, or the AFM to turbo hose under boost.
