Identify part of fuel system!

Mark was thinking very hard :

Not saying it is, but could it be something to do with the purge system?

That pipe looks worn through where it crosses the lower one BTW - it might explain the smell.

Er, sorry, I should have said that photo isn't mine, it's simply to illustrate the point.

That would make sense. In the event of the car being upside down, the

Is it a one-way valve to prevent fuel going the wrong way down the return line? I remember something similar on a Scirocco I had.

Although it contained fuel when I broke it, the car runs fine without the (whatever it is. Rollover valve?). SO I guess, while it seems to be part of the fuel system, it isn't critical. The car runs without it connected. If a replacement is hard to get / stupidly expensive, I'd be tempted to bypass it altogether!

There is a ball in a cage, which would move up (or down if the car was inverted) and block the upper outlet. THis leads me to think it's a roll-over valve.

Interestingly the Pug dealer here doesn't know, and just said it's part of the fuel tank and not available separately.

Although there is the side issue of the car running fine with the thing not connected - only one hose is on, the other blanked off for now!

Yep same as the saxo`s part of the fuel tank
