What is this hose coming out the firewall?
Car: 93 Civic Cx (hatch)
Motor: 98 GSR



On my friends Eg (93) / GSR (98) hatch the hose is NOT there:



I'm assuming I do NOT need it. But, I would just like to know what hose this is.

 

It's where you add blinker fluid.

Or a/c drain.

 

kind of looks like a heater hose.....

 

Can someone with an Eg go outside and take a look for me?

Thanks!

LMAO

 

I believe it has something to do with the emissions. As far as I know, it will not "hurt" anything in your engine. I believe you don't even need that canister hooked up at all

Someone said the same thing on another board. I'll probably just leave it and let it hang

 

I'll check my eg for you during my next break. 90 minutes from now.

 

AC Drain...KEEP IT if you have and use AC in your car. Without that, all of the condensation will accumulate under your dash and essentially flood your carpet.

I dont have that hose either so i'd assume your ok without it if your not going to run AC.

 

A/C drain hose. absolutly no doubt what so ever.

The canister is something worth keeping.

Here's what it does for carbeurated cars, I think it's similar to EFI cars.The fuel tank is sealed to prevent hydrocarbons (unburned fuel) from escaping, the gas cap is in place to hold pressure and there is a pressure relief valve that regulates the amount of pressure in the tank. When the tank pressure is too high, the pressure relief valve opens and lets excessive pressure/hydrocarbons into the charcoal canister for storage. When the engine warms up and is at cruising speed, the canister is purged by engine vaccuum and the stored hydrocarbons leave the canister and enter your intake manifold so that your car doesn't lean out.

Probably more than you needed to know, but i'm bored.

i think its not so much for leaning out but more so emmisions, hence pushing it into the intake manifold to be burner by the engine again.
