Ditto per @wonkipop; see my Virgo/Engineer evaluation note yesterday (1/21) at 12:51pm.
Started with @JeffBowlsby 's diagram which had the layout as he noted. Wonkipop got me to relook at my layout, which hadn't changed since I bought it at the dealer lot in May 1974 (that bowtie clamp SOOOO hard to remove, but sucked it up a few months ago to replace that hose finally). Suspect (?) that Porsche modified the system to this better arrangement for better collection/use of the collected vapors. Noted in the Emissions Control Systems image provided by wonkipop (original source). Isn't it amazing that after all these years, we're STILL finding/rediscovering new things about our little darlings? |
