Carbon Canister Removal - Tank Ventilation??

[mr_D]

good point

Isn't there an increased risk of a fire if you can smell strong petrol fumes with the pipe venting under the wing? Just thinking of stray ciggie butts and the like when stopped with the engine running

I did wonder that but what are the chances of that actually happening

Is there a way of running a tube directly off the petrol tank to release the fumes out of the back of the car?

Yes, just cut the breather line short.

If its vented far enough forward like mine, you wont get any problems. Mine terminates right down benhind the fog light.

I cant for the life of me remember the resistor i got on it at the moment. The CEL i've noticed only comes on when you've been idling for a while.

Been having a good search around and reading up on some old threads and im pretty sure its this one?

Whilst playing with the car today i moved my pipe up to behind the headlight

Also electrically connected it back up so i could lose the EML lol, i could hear the ticking noise people were talking about but once the bonnet was shut you could nt here it

Get a spark plug next to that and you could have a front flamethrower...

The ratio of air to fumes should easily be alrite with it up there tho

Im gunna remove mine in the morning and leave it plugged in but tucked out the way then get a resistor if i get a CEL or fault code.
