i was wondering if it is ok to take out that charcol canister thtat sit along the fire wall? also if i were to take it out would i just put a breather filter over the line that goes to the fuel tank?

 

Why would you want to remove it? Is it not functioning properly?

 

it is in a sfwd car and i dont see there being a reason for it beeing there but i am not sure if i can just take it out or does it have to bee there?

 

any one???

 

your charcoal-evap canister is something that isnt hurting anything. i have a hondata and that eliminates the evap sylnoid that is on your fuel rail, which is hooked up to the evap canister, so i'm not using it either, but i figure its hooked up to the tank, so i should just leave it, plus i don't think it weighs anything. if you figure out a safe way to take it out, let me know. i think all my friends with track only drag cars, stripped to the bone, still have them in, i'll call around tomorrow to see,

 

Why would you want to remove the EVAP canister?.. Isn't it illegal? And I'm pretty sure you'll just end up with a CEL..

 

wel the car will see the street every once in a while but i want to remove the canister for more room in the engine bay!

 

you can physically do it...

it will be illegal if you drive it on the street...

you will throw a code... or very likely. i don't know how often the evap monitors run on hondas

u will get fuel vapors coming out of the breather... might burn if the vapors gets concentrated towards the exh manifold... especially on a hot day...

u might get fuel puddles out of the breather if u overfill the tank

your car will smell like fuel on a hot day...

if u can live with those, u can do anything u really want. if you're just looking to save some space... figure out how to relocate the evap canister rather than remove it.

 

**** it i guss it is staying in

 

rip it out if you want, i dont have mine hooked up but its still there. you wont get a cel for it. it has only to do with emmisions. i have a diffrent IM so i dont have the purge valve.
