right by my air filter on my 180 there is a small canister, with 3 hoses coming out of it. 1 is a hard rubber line which I think runs to my gas tank, but I can't figure out the other 2. Do they go to my intake mani and run as a vac line? One of the nipples on the tank is slightly larger than the others. Thanks.

crap, can't find the article at SXOC where they tell to bypass the entire unit.

You can simply unplug all the lines from it, cap the one on the intake piping, and run the vacuum line coming from the intake manifold directly towards your fuel pressure regulator.

Let me keep looking for that info.

Here is some info on it. Others can add more comments. I bypassed it entirely.

I took mine out and hurled it into the sun. Make sure you don't plug the line that goes to the tank though, as you will build up a dangerous amount of pressure in there if it is plugged. I just got a little bit of hose and re-routed it down by the frame rail.
