Hi

 

Does anyone know what exactly the function of the check valve assmbly , connected to the fuel line and located on the underside of the

car is for?

 

I´m guessing on a RHD car it is located in the same place as on a LHD car so for a RHD car on the underside between passenger seat and

rear wheel arch. (SWB!)

 

The assembly Looks like this:

 

 

It´s been causing me Problems and getting a replacement is proving impossible , so I was wondering if it was just a cut off valve incase I flip the car and can I get rid of it,

or does it serve some other purpose.

 

As always, any help greatly appreciated.

Better named fuel vapor purge valve, also is a check valve in the event you put your zed on its roof so fuel cannot escape through the vapor system.

Do you still have the carbon canister, and what kind of problems are you seeing?

 

If Jeff hasn't got one, I'll see if I still have one on mine.

Hi jaffa

 

No, i don´t have the carbon canister anymore, did the delete a while ago.

 

The Problem I am having is a very strong smell of Petrol from that vicinity. I changed the valve a few years ago but was only able to get a EURO Version which had

the Connections more like the fuel filter ( top and bottom) and therefor I had to bend the piping to fit it. Was thinking that maybe the Tension is too much and the hoses have slipped,

or Clip Needs tightening. Just wanted to either get the correct one, or delete completely as the smell is quite intense as soon as you roll the window down.
