Charcoal canister removal-hardline

[s13pignose]

Should you cap it off and keep your mpg, or vent with filter on end for safety.

I kinda want both, but this seems like a situation where you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Also how much length do you have to leave on the vac hoses and hardline, or what can you get rid of?

Thanks

anybody?

Mine is open to the atmosphere but I don't know what motor you have. I don't even have a filter on it. Makes getting a smog check mighty intersting, lol. I don't think it really matters either way as your tank has a pressure valve by the filler neck.

Jus wonderin. Not to sound immature, but I don't want my car blowing up lol. I've done so many searches on the forum in the past days I've gotten headaches lol, but if I recall the benefits for removing this was to make room underthood, and to keep the manifold clean right?

If I'm wrong please tell me the benefits. Main reason i was thinking of removing is cause I won't to keep thins internally clean as possible.

i would keep it, i honestly dont see any advantage to removing it. it doesnt clean it up that much considering it is low in the engine bay, and there is so much other stuff in there anyway that removing somthing like that wouldnt make much of a difference in looks.

Yeah I see what your talking baout, but I mean like keep the intake manifold clean, like gunk inside and stuff. Sorta like removing the egr or something.

By removing the canister, are you keepin it clean that way?
