I removed it from my car when i did my CA install. The vacuum line that is coming from the gaz tank is not blocked off, its hangin in the engine bay. Is keeping that hose open is not helping my fuel economy ? im trying to get a more decent MPG than now ... give me some advice... i will recirc my bov first cuz now my engine is running super rich i got black soot on my back bumper where the muffler is..

I took off my canister and blocked the line off. You will have pressure build up in the gas tank that you will notice when you remove the cap to put gas. But its no big deal.

Mine is gone too. I lost the cap that I capped it off with, but I still get about 28mpg.
