black round tube

There is a good size plastic cylindrical box in the front of the engine with two tubes going into it one says carb and the other says tank, today i put a good size hole in it, and a bunch of black grainy stuff came out, and i was wondering what it was called so i could replace it.

Re: black round tube

haha, that's an awesome description of your problem ! today you put a good size hole in it, haha.
Too bad about your luck.

That's called a charcoal canister. It takes the fuel tank fumes from the top of your gas tank, runs them through the charcoal, then burns them in your carb. Many people ditch them, but if you want to keep your car "correct" you might be able to find a new one at the JY, or perhaps an autoparts store. But since it's not really a wear part, I doubt a parts store will have it.
