tonight i fitted my K&N induction kit to my 1.4 Active Sport Grande, and it all worked well for the first 10 minutes test.

later on i decided to give it a proper rum in and drove 3 mile to my brothers and there was a strong smell of petrol in the cab and when i turned the vents on!

after looking under the hood there is two breather pipes! (which i put breather filters on) and the one that comes directly out of the engine block smelt of pure petrol and was fumes/mist stuff coming off/out of it after talking to the father in law i was woundering why is it doing this as the breather was full of petrol and fluid and woundered if i can block this hole and just use the one breather on the other hose!

ill put pics up to show exactly which hose i mean but any help would be great fully apretiated!

those breather filters are an MOT fail,okay not an issue for you.
i wouldnt recommend blocking any breather as they have a use.
you really need to mod the induction to have these returning to the induction

this morning i was talking to a few mates at work and they said my car shouldnt be spitting petrol into the breather and mine is the first car they have seen with a breather coming out of the top of the engine!

im not really too fused about the MOT as i chance not to have the car when its due

Sorry bit off topic, my car passed its mot this morning with an oil breather, did the law change recently?

silly question but it is a K+N specifically for a GP isnt it?

K+N arent really good either for some fiats if you read the forum

put up pics of your setup

no its not designed for the GP i sorta edited it to fit. i used a escort rs turbo air box hose to bring the filter over to the side of the engine and on the small breather pipe i added a breath and there is a larger breather on top of the engine which i also added a breather on! its the that one that is spitting fuel out and really stinking and was making me feel nautious and fait so i had to put the air box back on!

what i was trying to ask in the first thread was is this supposed to happen as i could literally pour it out when i took it off ? is this excess fuel ment to go back through the air intake or not? also would it break if i blocked it because the part the hose is connected to is a bolt looking thing so i could get a solid bolt to block it! im on charging the camera now so i can get some pics

cool,pics will help a lot

thanks for your help custard boy but ive found a brilliant way around it, which will work

im going to get a pannel filter because ive seen a few companies with them for my car and im also gonna drill my air box abit lol

ive put the K&N on chrisuks gPunto sporting mjtd and it sounds the nuts and actually makes a difference!

also which filter company is best? ive seen pannel filters made by: Green, K&N, pipercross to fit my car i just dont know which one to get
