It's the purge can mate for the petrol tank - standard stuff, however mine used to leak also especially when full, so I got a "check valve" put on (apparently also common) and never lost a drop since - it was seriously like a 15 minute job that if I'd known, would have done myself ...

Someone on here may be able to guide you through the process to save getting it done at a mechanics, but being it's on the fuel line, I'd prefer someone other than me so they are spot on with the process and terminology etc and can guide you properly.

I guess you're referring to charcoal canister.

I guess you're referring to charcoal canister.

If that's the case, then it's leaking and needs fixing. It shouldn't drop petrol like that, afaik.
