Usa models are equipped with an additional system with an evaporative emissions canister that prevents fuel fumes from being discharged into the atmosphere.
The breather hose (4) is connected to the canister filter (1); when the fuel has been filtered, it is returned through the hose (2) to the horizontal (a) and vertical (b) intake manifolds via the hoses (2a) and (2b). Drainage pipe (c) and the hose (5) vent to the ground.
For correct positioning of the connection hoses consult the indications given below.
