Not sure what this is? was created by Reason2doubt

Hi all,

In the middle of a small job and ended up removing the following item:

I'm not completely sure what it is... I did a search on the part number which seemed to indicate '4x4 canister' which has me thinking it is something to do with the vacuum system (but I could be completely wrong).

This made me wonder, can I remove it all together seeing as I have manual hubs now? If so - does anyone have any advice on what to do with the two pipes going into it?

Thanks in advance & sorry for the simple question. Kind of prefer to hear it from someone on here for confirmation...

Looks like an old fuel/oil filter to me pal? I could be mistaken though of course

Yes it is the vacuum can. Unnecessary if you have manual hubs.

It looks more like a fuel vapour filter/charcoal cannister to me, from an earlier Jimny with single cam engine?

Doesn't look like anything to do with the vac system, the small vac tank that lives behind the wing only has one pipe to it.

Actually that is a very good point where did you find that item, if it was in the engine bay its NOT the vacuum canister. Sorry to mislead you.
