Anyone know what this is?

It\'s a 4" plastic tube attached under the intake, with 1/2" rubber hose either end.  
Anyone know it\'s purpose?  Mine looks like it dribbles oil where I\'ve pencilled yellow.

Its a breather filter for the fuel tank.  Under certain conditions, a solenoid attached to it draws fumes from the petrol tank and sends them into the UIM.  Cap it off ( i did a year ago with no probs since).

Cheers Jon,  I\'m gonna take a look at it later.
My oil leak can\'t be coming from there then.
The search goes on

is it safe to cap it off?   Will the fumes build up after time ?


Interested at im have problems with that soloniod.

Cap off the engine end only, you can allow the fuel tank end to vent to atmosphere.  It\'s only required for the emissions rubbish anyway.
