SteveJ Posted May 10, 2013 Share #6 Posted May 10, 2013 The part he's looking for is a check valve that lets in make-up air as you run the engine, but it won't let fuel vapors out when the tank warms. Part number 38 in the first link. It's not marked as NLA, so it may still be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastWoman Posted May 11, 2013 Share #7 Posted May 11, 2013 Yeah, #38. That valve lets air move in both directions, but outflow occurs only with a good bit of pressure. I suspect the check valve could be removed, but I wouldn't swear to it. The only possible consequences I would anticipate would be fuel leakage through the bottom of the carbon canister (not likely) and the slow accumulation of water condensation in the gas tank (due to the tank breathing too much). If you drive your car enough to keep your gas fresh, water condensation should be carried away harmlessly with the ethanol. But too much condensation, and you'll have trouble with fuel separation and gunk/goo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveJ Posted May 11, 2013 Share #9 Posted May 11, 2013 My guess is that you're typing something wrong. It came up here, too. NissanParts.cc - Your #1 Source for OEM Parts and AccessoriesOf course, if you give that part number to your local dealer, they might be able to beat the price when considering shipping.
