    Just wondering what would happen if I plugged off the charcoal canister. I am putting a 1973 gas tank in a 1972 car, guess that will work.

    The gas fumes need to vent somewhere and Mavericks do not have vented caps. I would recommend hooking it up since it dose not rob any power from the engine.

    I pulled my cannister and put a vacuum cap on the line. It almost caved in my gas tank! You need a vent.

    It probably changed the way the car ran too. Just out of curiosity, how did it run?

    Just for the record, That cardboard tube that goes from the canister to the air cleaner is still available from Ford. Part # is D4ZZ9D667A for a 40" piece.

    Anyone have one of the canisters for sale? I have a 73 Mav, factory V8, but the canister was missing when I bought it. Thanks. Email me at cricket3@pacbell.net

    Nick, it ran fine, but I never drove it far enough to vapor lock. It would have eventually.
