R32 gtst frame rail bung

[Prof_Finesser]

Hello today I was getting little stuff done here and there getting ready for my first start and I noticed that the black piece was kind of hanging out and it was broken i must have hit it or something I put my finger in the hole that it was in and felt nothing  just wanted to see if anyone knew what this was and if I need to replace it.  It was in the hole between the two lines.

Hmm. Dunno. I can't think of a reason for something like that to be poked in that rail hole. Don't know if that thing is even on my car. I won't be near my car for another 10 days or so, so I can physically check then.

Right now I have photos on my phone from when the engine was out, but they're too dark and blurry in that corner of the bay to show whether it is there or not. Black on black hard to see even in a close up!

Yea idk why it would be something like that would be in the frame rail I’m pretty sure it’s fine but I just want to double check

I'm pretty sure it's the fitting for the charcoal canister bottom vent to connect a breather hose into the chassis rail.

Would make sense. Can be replaced (if it is damaged) with .... almost anything. Just poke a longer hose into the rail perhaps.

I'm confirming it's the charcoal canister vent.
