'76 2.0 engine, there is a metal tube projecting out from the driver's side tin in front of #2 cylinder. It looks like an air outlet for some purpose. Does anyone know what it's for?

The 75/76 914 moved the charcoal canister to the engine compartment. There should be a plastic line that runs from the fuel overflow tank in the front trunk all the way back to the engine compartment. It terminates by the battery. The charcoal canister is mounted to the battery hold down bolt with the end with the small line facing forward. The big line on the front end goes to the fan shroud (the empty fitting you see) and the rear fitting goes to the air cleaner. When the car is running, the air blowing through the charcoal canister pulls the vapor out and sends it into the air cleaner to be burned in the engine.
Hook it back up. The weight is negligible, it does not rob any horsepower, and it both keeps the gas smell down and helps the environment. |
