Carbon Canister Removal - Tank Ventilation??

Now has anyone removed the carbon canister properly? Not just removed it and left it to vent the fumes under the bonnet? If so what did you do? The options what I've been looking at...

- Trace the pipe all the way to the back of the car, snip it and leave it open. Result been under car ventilation.

- Trace the pipe back to the source, block it off and drill a small hole in the filler cap to stop the tank imploading / fuel starvtion.

- Add a bit of pipe to the engine bay pipe and vent to wing, bit of a bodge and don't want to go down this route.

Cause in traffic you can still get a strong petrol smell in the interior... been in one Cupra nd one GOlf that does this because of wing venting.

Aye the whole reason I don't want to do it this way. Option 2 is the way I think I'll be heading, just wondered what everyone else has done first!

PJ - No gain what so ever, clear's up the engine bay for some or in my case makes room for other stuff!

Cupra you could be right it was only a short bit of pipe, but the VR6 is right down into the wing and in traffic it often smells.

Was thinking option three and make it near enough as low as the car, that was the air will break up the smell.

Either add a piece of pipe to the existing breather and bring it down into the wing, or leave it where it is and worry that theres a very small chance of a petrol smell (I never smelt any on a mates car) or if you're sure it'll never, ever go back on cut the pipe back under the car.
