Hey all, can anyone tell me what the black plastic box is within the drivers side wheel arch??

I moved my broken car today (wheel arch lining isn't there) and black box was catching on the wheel, moved it and loadsa black powder came flooding out! :S Attached to the blue cables/tubes going into the bonnet! Cheers

That will be your charcoal cannister.

Collects fumes from the tank and then feeds them back into the induction when the car is warm.

Ahh so that's why it smelt like petrol! What's it actually do though? Like the purpose in it?
