    It vents through holes in the fuel filler neck so unless you are doing some serious trecks through water or the vent hose is cracked or disconnected it should be fine.

    Evaporative Emissions System, essentially it keeps fuel tank vapors from escaping into the atmosphere.
    It consists of the fuel tank, vapor hoses, charcoal canister, leak detection pump, filter, and purge valve.

    When a hot diff goes through cold water, vacuum conditions are created which suck water and grit through the seals. The breather negates all of this
