What is the black canister looking thing on the passenger side on a K8 5 speed? It has the marking BP01 on it at the top, at first I was freaking out thinking it was my fuel filter cause on my 95 RS MX3 it was in that general area but after searching here I found out where the fuel filter is, under the battery and transmisson area. So before I have to go drive this thing the way it is what is it, because the rubber line running to it and the lines running from it are not connected anymore . Sorry if I didnt give enough info Im very new to the GS model. Premature thank yous to anyone who helps me out.
It sounds to me like your looking at your charcoal canister. I don't think it will hurt anything to drive with it disconnected, but you might smell fuel every now and then. As far as I know it prevents gas fumes from the fuel tank escaping.

I thought it might be that, I remember the one on my 92 SOHC Protege looking a little like that. I really havent smelled any gas though and maybe Im just lucky but percentage wise how sure are you? Im not doubting you, just a little worried still that it could be dangerous. Thank you for the help, I really am intrested in learning everything I can bout these cars since they friggin RULE!
Wow, what a relief, LOL. But again u guys rock! How hard is it to remove se7en? I didnt really mess with it since I thought it was needed, but why would u remove it? Just to save some weight? Also I noticed a line running from the EGR going to the air intake was not connected, so I reconnected it and was wondering if that was a bad idea? Any other Ghetto AKA cheap mods I can do? I was starting to remove all sound deadning from the engine area since I read on here that this motor, K8 dosent run well once it gets kinda warm. Also removed the jack, and all parts of rear seats. I tryed to remove the spare but it seems to be rusted down in there like for eternity,lol but I guess I could get it sawed off or maybe torched off and then remove the bolt holding the spare down? Sorry for typing so much, Im just really happy to be zoom zooming around in a V6 MX3 now.
hmm maybe thats why when i slow down to a light i start to smell a weird fuel/burnt/oil smell, or is that just my rings haha burning oil?

What benifit is there to disconnecting this. It's in place to protect our environment, you've heard of green house gasses. I'm not some nut for this stuff but if there's no benifit to disconnecting it then why not leave it be? Just a thought.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
doesnt the canister collect gas vapours and recylce them back into the intake? that would mean removing it would allow vapours to freely seep in the engine bay no? sounds a lil riskAy..on another note, can somebody tell me more about this megasquirt stand alone system?? ?

Its all covered in the Engine Electronics/Tuning section and you can also check out probetalk.com and search for it on there, they are more in dept with the system over there.

yeah I removed mine and it had no negative effects. But it wasnt connected to begin with, so I cant say do it or dont I just know it wont make the car run better or worse but if you need the engine space I say go ahead and chuck it! Again thanks for the quick reply and info it was a little scary for me at the start,lol.
