Fuel Perge Tank

[7yphon]

Well long story short I was doing something in my engine bay Pulling something off and i slipped and broke the little plastic peice that connects to the Hoses. It says its the Fuel Perge tank but what is it and what does it do, Does this mean I need to buy a new one now?

Sounds like the purge line for the vapour canister. One line to the fuel tank, and vacuum and purge lines to the inlet manifold. The canister contains activated carbon, stores fuel vapour from the tank, and releases it into the inlet manifold when the motor is under light load.

So - if you broke the connection to the tank, you will end up with fuel vapour in the engine bay (bad), if you broke the purge line or vacuum line to the inlet manifold you will have an air leak and run the motor lean (worse).

Yes - replace it.

Well I Tried to fix it with superglue works *sorta when I start getting to speeds over 100 its start to run really bad and makes lots of noise.

Ill try and track one down but I hear they are hard to come by.
