Em1 Charcol canister removal? What problems?
Hello I’m building my em1. While waiting for parts and tune date I’m doing a full tuck and shaved bay mainly because ac and power steering is already gone and I am ok with that. Please don’t tell me why don’t you go buy it and put it back in because I do not want to I am happy without it. I’m removing the charcoal canister and the line going back to the gas tank. My question is what will I have to worry about? I’m ok with the smell of gas and alittle extra tank pressure and could care less about my fuel mileage it’s not a daily. What I am concerned about is a check engine light. I’ve heard of people converting to obd1 but what all does that take. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thankyou

I would guess you will have a CEL if you just pull it, as there are sensors (atleast 1) monitoring the system. Idk any work arounds as im obd1 with a jdm ecu.

I had a friend do that and that **** is just stupid. Everytime he’d stop at a light the car would smell like fuel horribly. It almost made me sick tbh and I generally don’t mind the smell.
And since you’re obd1 a cel will be present

You will get evap related CELs. If you live in a state that requires emissions testing, you won't pass with a CEL, and you won't pass with an OBD1 conversion either.
