I was poking around my engine bay (trying to work out another issue) when I noticed that something I later found out is called a CANISTERFUEL VAPOR - Part No. MR161732 has a hose attachment that is missing a hose. To me it looks like there should be a hose attached.

Is this normal?

Should I be concerned, (as in) will this cause issues?

If there is suppose to be a hose, where does it connect to at the other end?

Please look at my pics. Any advice would be appreciated.

For the record my vehicle is a;

2002 Mitsubishi Magna TJII Sports Sedan 5 speed auto.

Mt TL ES looks the same. I think this is normal.

Hi Kaldek,

I hope you are right, thanks for having a look and taking the time to reply.

It's weird Mitsubishi would have a connection like that that looks like it needs hose attached....weird.

This is my first Mitsubishi so I'm not sure what is normal. Still learning.

I asked the same question on here a few months back and a few people replied saying that's normal

My KL looks the same also. I don't understand why it is not used, but hey - four of us here don't have anything attached to it so there's a pretty good chance it's OK! :)

Make that five. No pipe goes there and I'm fairly sure it's blocked off anyway.

Thanks Spetz, that good to hear.

b1benno and Ensoniq5, thanks, I'd say it is official, it's normal, but I agree, why have it there if it isn't used or is blocked off. Weird. :nuts:

Older models had a hose dropping down to the ground but was not needed so was left as it is there

That explains it. So it basically a redundant fixture, like Penguin wings <(")

Thanks Madmagna
