What car? As I’m a bit confused as the FD has its canister just in front of the fuel tank, and I\'m fairly sure you don’t want an intercooler there?

Anyhow the canister is used as a sort of filter for the fuel vapours in the fuel tank before they get sucked into the engine via a purge valve under certain circumstances.

mmmmm then I think you need to take a pic of it as it should be under the car and in front of the fuel tank. You don\'t mean the aircon dryer?
