hey, i have a question. i cant find a pic of it to make it easier lol but there is a long black round thing with purge written ontop. someone told me it was to collect fuel gases to make it more ecenomical. it sits under the fuel rilter right next to the throttle body. i want to know if i can and how to remove it because every car i see in magazines doesnt have it. help

parts in the engine bay are there for a reason. Just because cars in magazines dont have it doesnt mean you dont need it. Show cars arent typically DD's, and thus have many of the components removed to make them more appealing.

It's for evaporative emissions. The charcoal canister and purge solenoid collect fuel vapors from the fuel system and route them back to the engine

A pic would help but that sounds like what you're talking about

yer thats the thing i was talking about. just wondering if its necessary. im not lookin for a show car. even the track integras i see dont have it which leads me to beleive its pointless if im not worried about saving gas lol so is it ok to remove it?

It doesn't effect gas mileage or performance. It's for emissions.
yer i kno. its just huge and in the way. takes up to much room. i just want to know what happens if you take it out??

what you can do is relocate it, alot of people do that, and your talking about the fuel filter
