On the drivers side (LFT here in the US) right in front of the PS reservoir is what from looking at REALOEM.com appears to be an activated carbon filter.


Number 1 in the pic.
One of the hoses is pretty dry rotted and cracked around the hose clamp. Just wondering exactly what this is and does. Should I be replacing the hose ASAP?? It looks like it is part of the fuel system, but I don't think fuel actually goes through, so I thought maybe it is just a vent. I hope to replace all my fuel lines soon.
