Unplugging EVAP purge solenoid dangerous?
Right now I have my EVAP purge solenoid unplugged and i was wondering if this was dangerous? I was brousing clubsi, and someone on there said
"Your cannister can get saturated with fuel. Eventually, it will overspill with fuel and leak out causing a possible fire hazard. Not to mention VOC compounds released into the atmosphere. "
Does anyone know if this is true?
