Carbon Canister line

[Guest MikeG1972]

When I was underneath the car installing a new gas tank I noticed that I must have caught the vent line that goes to carbon Canister up front when I lowered the body down on the frame. Now the line is kinked and trapped between the body and the rear crossmember. To fix this I am going to have to loosen all the body bolts, raise the body and splice the line. (I hope). Is this line really that necessary? what would happen if I left it alone, would it effect the way it runs. Do you know?

 

 

 

Thanks Mike

I believe that cannister is the vent for the gas tank.

 

You could do away with those vent lines totally like I am doing, I bought a 70 Gas Tank and will use a vented gas cap. This will do away the need for the lines or the cannister.

 

hope this helps.

Thanks Jared but I thought the carbon canister was an early attempt at emmission control.

 

Thanks for the info.
