Default Evaporator Canister Removal

What is the best way to eliminate the fuel evaporator canister and route the two vapor lines that feed it?? Just plug them??

:cheers:

Why remove it? It costs ZERO horsepower to operate the system and weighs almost nothing.

If your concerned about weight, put half a gallon less fuel in the tank when you fill up.

I don't think that you can just plug them as they are a vent.

One thing that I did notice when I disconnected the one on my project truck. Any time I parked it in the garage, the next day the garage smelled worribly of gasoline fumes -- :U

I connected it all back up right after that.

The evap system is designed to be used in conjection with the fuel tank and the pvc- carb set up. There must be a better way!!
