When i was replacing can to tank line,I tried to blow air through the hose and thought it was plugged. Cut the old hose open and found a plastic tube with a closed end and a small hole in it .Looked in Dr. Rebuilds cataloge and has a listing for a restrictor but no pics.The small hole was plugged and easy enough to clean out.I was just wondering if that was all there was to the part.

Yeah near as I can tell. I pulled my vapor can system out and I too found that restrictor. I didn't pay it much mind because I tossed it all. I plugged the nipple at the tank, and removed the can.
