little tank on top of the fuel tank

[CMF_Wallie]

so, after fixing what i thought was the leak in my micra, fill her right up & nope i havent LOL.

so ive pulled the tank out & its the little clear/pink tank has a massive crack in it.

1. how do you remove it from the tank
2. does anyone have 1 laying around, i don't mind buying the whole tank if you don't want to separate it, il even remove the tank if its still attached to the car, il pay for the tank but if i have to pull it out myself i would like the pump chucked in for free as getting it out is a pain in the ass

i ended up just pulling it off even heat wouldnt soften up the glue

i dont recall one of those on mine wallie, maybe evap/emissions related.
cant you just bypass it ?

 

[CMF_Wallie]

not sure it connects to a metal hose under the car via a canister of some sort. the guy at the wreckers had no idea what i was talking about so i had to email him photo's of it, but after doing some research ive come up empty, might try a nissan dealership to shed some light on it.

heres a pic of it on the tank

1 hose goes to a canister sorta thing then to the metal lines under the car, 1 hose goes to the far right corner, the other hose goes straight back into the tank

 

[CMF_Wallie]

do the other tanks have 3 hoses to the metal lines?

like this?

 

[CMF_frank2]

does look evap related to me mate, hot climates may have got a more sophisticated system ?
i would just bypass and seal it personally, and make sure there is 1 vent going to the carbon canister in the engine bay

"do the other tanks have 3 hoses to the metal lines?

mine has 2 brake, 1 feed, 1 return and 1 vent by the looks

 

[CMF_Wallie]

ok how would i bypass it connect the vent to the 1 in the tank near the pump & block up the 1 in the bottom right?

not sure i havent been able to find another tank like it so far just to take the small tank off it, i must have an odd ball micra lol

i would leave the feed and return stock, and block all but the highest ventpipe, and that ventpipe should go to the black carbon canister in the engine bay
edit, and a large vent to the filler neck

 

[CMF_Wallie]

ok, so connect the 2 in the red togeather thats goes to the engine bay canister.. ignoring the fuel pump hoes in mu pint circle.

& block the 1 in the blue circle, the 1 on the left down the bottom goes to the filler hose vent

 

[CMF_frank2]

the white one looks like the filler vent to me, and you would have to check the other vent ones inside the tank to choose the highest on for the carbon canister

cheers frank il have a fiddle & see if i cant rectify this, otherwise il just buy another tank the same as what seems like every other micra in aus
