Took out my charcole canister??

[big-phil]

not sure if this is where I need to post this Q?

 

I think its called the charcole ?spelling? canister I blocked off all the lines, But what do I do with the line comming from the gas tank? Put a small filter on it? It needs to stay open right??

Yep, stick a small K&N filter on that line, so you have some way to make up air to the tank as the pump draws the level down.

 

I have seen little facet-style pumps collapse the filler neck they draw such a high vacuum in the tank (if you have a good set of evap hoses, that is!)

 

I replaced my Charcoal Cannister with one form a Geo, it was 1/4 the size, and I just ran the hoses out into the fender well, I put the bracket AND the new smaller cannister under the headlight bucket out in the fenderwell. Worked great!

I removed mine with no issues, except that pressure builds in my gas tank even with the vent line open, which seems to be a common problem.

yea when I get gas and open the cap it goes woosh! sometimes. thats before I removed the canister

[Guest bastaad525]

mine NEVER built any pressure, yet my old Sentra SE-R and my wifes Geo that we just sold ALWAYS 'wooshed' when we opened the filler cap. However, neither of our new cars does this.

 

I never had a charcoal canister in my turbo 240, anyways. just the open vent line.
