It's the bits on the end that can fail or break off. Yes, ford is obviously a place to order it or a wrecker (or somebody who has this part of the crossover still and doesn't need it anymore after replacing the piping). You can leave it, but it'll just spray oily vapour into the engine bay making a slow horrible mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left mine off for a couple of weeks and almost nothing came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I've done it like that is to make it inconspicuous. Same as running a catch can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at a heap of 90 degree rubber boots but no luck. I think the FG vent hose uses the same rubber boot and is much cheaper than the BA one.
