    Gq Vacuum canister tank.

    I was having a look at the rd28 supp and noticed this tank that I thought might be emission related but turns out to be a vacuum canister. It is not there in my car and some one has fitted an air horn pump. Now I have removed the pump but want to know if it is a vital thing to have. I have heard that it is for brakes and clutch but I am not sure as the car won't be here until next week and want to get a RWC done so want to cover as many things as I can. Pic for attention. Is it ok not to have this installed?

    It is interesting that yours dosent have one yet is drivable. I would suggest it might have been relocated as you will simply have almost NO Clutch and certainly No Brakes. I had a split vac hose on my GQ 9nce and had Zero brakes! I had to pull up with the hand brake and use rescue tape on the pipe.

    I'd say it is there somewhere or a smaller one is there.

    Yeah agree must be one somewhere else. I had no vac in the clutch the other weekend and was a prick of a thing but no vac to brakes would be defiantly undriveable they would be terrible. . .

    Doesn't that make it a little bit unsafe?!!!
    Are there any counter measures built into diesel engines to prevent that from happening on the fly?
    I mean losing brake boost due to loss of vacuum is one thing , but losing brake entirely can be trouble, particularly if the car's moving fast enough.

    It happened to me on the freeway. it wasnt until i was pulling into the service centre to refuel that i realised i have Zero Brakes. change down on the fly then handbrake to a stop worked fine. Emergency braking would have been out of the question though.

    If the OPs car is drivable and has brakes i think there will be a Vac Can somewhere.

    So i am in front of the computer now and looking at your pic on the big screen. That canister you have pointed too is a secondary tank. See the smaller tank behind the coolant reservoir mounted to the side wall will be linked into the system and is the Only tank i have on the GQ.
