Switching to a Fuel Cell

[Guest Zachb55]

If i were to do this, can i just take out all of the venting stuff and have my cell with the line out and a line in and maybe one vent goin out of the rear of the car? Im not at all going for emmisions legality because well a 72 in WA doesnt have to be!!! So some info on going about this in this fashoin would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

This is what I am doing now, but thanks to the wonderful 1st-gen design, the vented fumes are being sucked intothe car at speed with the windows open. I just got a 2nd-gen RX-7 charcoal cannister and I plan to feed the vent line into it and run the vacuum line through a brake booster check valve to prevent boost from getting into it.

My vent is to atmosphere, over time ALL of my gas evaps. Can't seal it as the cell will balloon (sigh). So, how do you avoid this?

What I did was use a one way valve (I used a one man brake bleed that has been sitting around for years) to vent it to a length of fuel line down to the lower rear quarter panel. It's just a piece of aluminum with a hole through the middle, a spring and a check ball. It keeps the cell square (won't let it balloon like BLKMGK said), but allows air to be drawn back in.
