cannister in rear wheel arch above muffler - any idea?

[illusionaryline]

hey guys,

With the airbagging of my car, when i ride air'd out, the rims rubs on 2 hoses, that goto a canister in the top of the rear passenger wheel arch.

There are no hose clamps or anything, so i know its not pressurised.

Does anyone have any ideas what this is?

That's your charcoal canister.

Fuel vapour is drawn from the tank through the canister,through a pulsed solinoid in your engine bay and upto the throttle body.
