Can't fill gas tank after charcoal canister was removed for cage
Anyone had this problem? will this lead to other problems than just filling the tank?

I have not monkeyed with this system in vettes but becareful. The fuel system is a carefully engineered system that has safety features we don't even know are there. Often we racers remove stuff that make us less safe. Use extra caution with Fuel systems. Even the charchol canister is more than a smog device. Often it has a series of fittings and hoses all to make a sealed system. Improper removal can result in fuel fires and fuel leakage in crashes. For example an upside fuel bath could end your life.

thanks, those are the kinds of concerns I started to have when it wouldn't take gas at a normal rate.

Lines were probably capped. Take rubber flapper cover off in passenger rear wheel well and see if those two lines are capped... fairly easy to get to. The top of the tanks are vented to atmosphere even when the charcoal canister is connected.

f those lines are capped, should they just be uncapped to tied in a vertical direction or should they have some sort of breather?
