Deleting a Fuel Purge valve, advise please.

[Woofwoof]

 Guys, I want to delete the Fuel Purge valve on a W202 Merc C-Class, it's controlled by the engine ECU, so what I need to do is fool the ECU so that it still thinks it's there. I presume I need a resistor of some sort to plug into the wiring connector to the valve? Any ideas? Cheers in advance, WoofWoof.

Fuel purge? I assume you mean the EVAP valve? Not sure why you'd want to get rid of it, but you can get rid of the rest of the pipeage stuff and just keep the valve itself plugged in, the ECU won't know any better.

Its worn, buzzes like mad and they are not unknown to do this. Don't want the start messing about buying used ones only to have the same problem again and I'm deffo not buying new. Also, too if I put in a resistor I'll won't get a fault code, removing it tidies up the engine bay and the mounting bracket can be prone to rusting, actually it has some rust on it now.

What ever you do don't just block it (tank pipe) off ! i've seen a few colapsed tanks from peeps doing this!
no other breather, tanks cools, fuel vapour contracts = 1 ruined/split tank, if you remove it re route the breather to somewhere the fumes can't enter the cabin
Obv block off the engine pipe or you'll be sucking un meterd air.

Cheers bortaf, a very valid point. Luckily the tank has a second breather and the breather to the Purge valve can be arranged so it sits behind the rear wheel arch liner and left open.
