Removing the Charcoal Canister


listy

Recommended Posts

At the mo it's capped at the hose coming from the fuel tank and I don't currently have a vac source because Iv deleted the vac canister and gone TT intake manifold so il need to T off from somewhere. The picture I posted above is just where I put it in place but quickly realised I wasn't sure if it mattered which way round they go?

Stock apart from the damper bypass pipe, it doesn't smell all the time only when I drop my mate off and he opens the passenger door, if I leave it idling and get out I can't smell anything! Il double and triple check the fittings around the fuel filter for peace of mind!

Instead of starting a new one i thought i'd just bump this up, removed my charcoal canister this morning and I've read at least 5 threads and can't get a definitive answer on this. So....

 

Should the line from the tank be blocked or vented? there must be a 'this way is definitely best' version but i can't find it. David P says to block and some others say vent in a wing or at the back of the car etc.

 

So which one is actually correct? thanks.

I conneted the fuel breather to the under pipe so it can still vent. Im sure david is correct but didnt want to blank the fuel tank beather. I did once and upon the removal of the blank the suction sound it made was suprising so for my own piece of mind I just linked it to the pipe that you will see upon removal underneith
