   Anyone know a part number or exactly what its called?
   
   Its the one that runs from the inlet to a weird little tub inside the drivers side wing?
   
   Mines got a hole in it and leaks out oily stuff so want a replacement.

   Shouldn't have oil coming out if it its a vacuum pipe to the carbon canister then goes to the fuel tank citroen parts desks can be helpful at times or go to a local breakers I got one for a couple of quid in good condition for mine from scrappy

   or alternatively just remove all that garbage and vent the tank to air

   I've read a few posts and most advise against it. Im still not sure what it even does exactly. All I know is the one I have has caused a leak of what looks like oil all over the alternator so not good.
