The tank. What is it good for? I canīt find itīs partno in the ETK, even though itīs in the graphics there (under Breather System). Huh?!

This is how itīs connected:

One hose exits the tank on the rear. It goes to a Y-joint just in front of the tank (which was broken and I had to replace it). The two other hoses that exit the Y-joint go into some "vacuum" switches and then end up at each DKs.

The "vacuum switches" start to click on/off as the engine is heated up and idles.

The other hose into the tanks rear goes somewhere backwards the car. Canīt trace it...

Whatīs the tanks purpose and why doesnīt it have a partnumber?
