Has your carbon cannister been taken out of the engine bay?? If so has the fuel tank breather line been blocked up??

I think the previous owner removed the carbon cannister when the 20VT replaced the G60, where will i find the breather line? :oops:

Looking from the front of the car, the breather pipe should be on the left hand side beside the wheel arch. It should be bunched with the actual fuel lines. Tends to be a clear-ish plastic pipe. It may have been removed further back but should not be blocked up!!

 

If you find any pipe on that side that isn't connected to anything that is a clear pipe that'll be it. Should just be venting to air if the carbon cannister had be previously removed.
