After removing this ugly little cannister what did everybody do about venting their gas tank ? Can you just cap the line under the hood ? Vent back at the tank ? Anybody that's done this could you tell me what you did ? Thanks Rick
Not sure what everyone has been doing but don't just cap the line. With no where to vent you will have serious driveability issues.
I'm no sure, now I'm just cleaning up the engine comparment alittle. Did you post on the parts wanted page ?
no, i just seen your post on that an thought i would ask. im sure someone can sell me one. however my car was completly stripped so ill need the bracket as well.
There is a thread somewhere about that charcoal canister and where to vent it, mine was all FUBAR, So i made the canister bracket into a B.A. bracket to mount my monster tach on the floor! still havnt done anything about that line.... I wonder what the harm just leavin it open does?
im not sure, ive always been gm. but my car and my donor car both did not have one. and i drove my donor in to the back yard. it dont seem right- i towed the project and drove the donor. i wonder how many times thats happened?
I searched under canister and found a few posts. If Im reading this rite, it says you can run a hose from the vent tube, to the air cleaner and the vapor will be sucked in the motor and burned. Another opinion was to cap it off and get a vented (or vent your orig) gas cap. I personally plan to run mine to the aircleaner.
Its even easier than that. Look at the back side of the gas cap and you will see a hole in the very center. There is a check valve in there. You will find that you cannot blow air through it, but you can suck air in it. Its made to prevent getting a vacuum in the tank as the fuel is used up. All you have to do is take a drill bit the same diameter as the hole and drill the check valve out. Its made of plastic. Just be careful not to drill all the way through the cap. Once the valve is destroyed, the cap is now a vented cap.
...that's how i did mine...then ran a short hose from the vent on top of the tank with a small plastic...lawn mower fuel filter...on the end.
