Tried to search this and other forums but no luck.

Reason i said properly is because i heard that u have to do something so the inside dont smell like gas. Otherwise i thought it was just take it out and plug everything up.

 

If its OBD-2 its going to be a PITA unless you like check engine lights

 

No OBD-1

 

id also like to no this for obd-1

 

I need to know this because my new intake manifold does not use it. Well that and the evap.

 

Easy. Just take it out. I let the gas vapor vent openly and removed the EVAP system completly.

If are keeping your stock ECU, then you can hook the EVAP canister to your intake tube instead of the intake manifold.

But thats just for OBD-2 cars right. My car is OBD1 so i should be ok. What i am trying to find out is what do i do about the line that goes to the gas tank. i've tried even searching google but no luck.

 

Found something then found something that kinda counters the other thing. here goes what i found:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by somebikesite &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">How does/why does, it work? Well, you have a vent hose from the tank that goes down to the cannister. The cannister is supplied vacuum from the intake manifold/throttle-bodies. With the vacuum applied to the cannister/tank(via the vent line), gasoline vapors are reclaimed into the cannister, then sucked into the intake to be combusted, instead of vented directly to the atmosphere via your fuel-tank cap. Oh, and for the extra fuel that ends up condensing inside the cannister, there is an overflow/drain tube that drains to the pavement(make sure it doesn't drain onto your exhaust x-over.... potential fire hazard there).


OK, now back to the original question... how to remove this thing.

Easy, unbolt it, rip out the vacuum lines to the manifolds, cap the nipples with vacuum caps(or run a balance line between the two), and route the vent line from the tank under the bike, to vent/drain to the ground rolleyes.gif

It really is that simple</TD></TR></TABLE>

i broke the nipple off of my charcoal canister for the hose that goes to the t-body, w/ thsi not hooked up and being that your evap system relieves excess pressure from you gas tank, i have come to the conclusion that this is causing the excess pressure to seep out thru my gas cap. this is creating a puddle of gas inside my flap and it then runs down the side of my car(very unsightly)

1: is my assumption correct?
2: if so what can i do about it w/out replacing my canister
3: i know some people have eliminated their evap system completely, do you guys have the same prob?

If you're doing this on your track-only car, ignore my reply.

Why the hell would you want to remove that with gas prices what they are? The charcoal canister seriously affects your mileage by around 3 mpg or more. Not to mention global warming causing crazy hurricanes and **** (I doubt you care about that one). I have a SOHC VTEC ZC, and it's missing the bracket and vacuum port for it, but that's no problem. Just get a vacuum T and hook it up to your FPR vacuum line.

I hit VTEC and drive aggressively all the time and still get more than 30mpg around town. Charcoal canister is your friend
