i thought systems that had fuel injection were pressurised. i would have thought if the jimny tank needed a breather it would have had one. or are you thinking of an extended breather like the axle and box breathers ?

standard jimny - for now

I'm not 100% positive but I'm sure the tank isn't sealed. If it was it would create a mahoosive vacuum. It's only pressurised from the pump onwards. The fumes are drawn through the EVAP canister are dealt with by the engine. So there is no open to the atmosphere breather like NA jamjars.

Of course I could be wrong lol.

I am pretty sure fuel tanks have to have a breather.
