Hi guys, I'm fitting a return fuel line on my S40 T4 and was thinking of using the existing line back to the tank from the charcoal canister. Can I bypass the canister or will this cause me problems? I understand it's only for purging fuel vapour anyway so I can't see it being a major problem. Any help appreciated guys. Thanks, Mitch.

i removed mine and i have no issues.I did get an error code but i erased it.If you want a return fuel line get one from the n/a volvo s40 they have one fitted std

Hi guys, thanks. I've now decided to run an extra 8mm fuel hose to the fuel rail and leave the charcoal as it is. Pyaap said people have had problems using the charcoal pipe as a return. Just waiting for the tig welder to do weld on my fuel rail unions now!

I'm only adding a pipe for a fuel return mate. Standard T4s don't have a return.
