Tony Carter Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hi: First time here. I have a 1988 3.5EFI. Regarding the fuel evaporative unit under the offside rear wing. I am sure I read somewere many years ago that its not really needed. Can anyone advise ? (I am only thinking of removing it if its not nessesary as I am in the middle of changing the rear crossmember and noticed a lot of hardened or split rubber hoses and rusty circlips) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I have a 1991 V8i Discovery and I removed it completely and it's made no difference. Rgds Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has your Discovery been MOT'd since you removed it ? and did you seal all the pipes, or did you need to leave any open for air to get in the tank?

Tony It's been through a number of MOT's and no problem. I would either seal the pipes or leave them open as extra breathers. Mine was removed because I fitted a 300 Series ES Diesel body to it. I think they were fitted for fuel evaporation in some countries. Something about not letting surplus fuel evaporate into the air.
