    I was checking over my work (CV and seal replacement) after a couple of drives this past weekend and there is a metal tube that comes off the bottom of the charcoal canister. Should that be connected to something? Image Unavailable, Please Login

    No, it's a vent to the atmosphere (it's how air exits, or enters, the otherwise completely closed fuel tank system via the charcoal bed inside the charcoal canister). See the figure on page 85-86 of the 150/78 OM where it's called "G - hot air purge tube".

    Great. One more thing I don’t need to fix.
