Recycle fuel vapor through carbon canister back to fuel system so that it is not lost to atmosphere.

The one below 3 is the one that goes to the fuel pressure regulator.
Yes it's a focus lump 😆
So I can block off 1?
I will link 2 to the ecu
That just leaves 3....do I need to put a recirculation jobbie on?
Also I'm planning on retaining the box on the front of the engine as it doesn't fowl anything an not putting a hole in the back is this a good plan?

Oh yeah. Not sure about 3 then. I will have a look at mine when I get a chance but mine will probably be missing as yours is.
As far as I'm aware the fuel recirculation thing can be blanked off... Got me thinking now though. .

while I was in the scrap yard yesterday I had a quick look at a focus inlet and both 2 and 3 seem to go to the fuel recirc thingy so they should be ok to blank.

Cool thanks for that! Going to use 1 for the ACT sensor, block off 3 and use 2 to go to the ECU.
I assume it will be ok just to put a mini filter on the cam cover breather?

I take it I'm gonna have to put cat on it too

The cam cover breather i think would originally go to the air filter box. Im thinking it may be an MOT failure if venting to atmosphere even with a filter on, im assuming it somehow needs to go back into the inlet.

Yeah will need a cat
