dc2 charcoal canister removal

[destrukshn]

As title, anyone done it?
If so any negative feedback?
Do you just let the pipe from the tank breathe into atmosphere?

[cbauto]

yes
none that I can think of.
shoved a bolt in there so it's sealed

[destrukshn]

But doesn't it have to breathe? Lol

[destrukshn]

Smell any vapours?

[cbauto]

idk...

no

Only down side is it won't keep tree huggers happy.

Possibility of failing blue slip/EPA, if the tech knows what his looking at.

[ECU-MAN]

The canister allows the fuel tank to breath. The ECU controls the EVAP solenoid to release the pressure in the fuel tank under certain conditions, the pressure is vented to the canister and in turn the plenum. You do not want a vapour pressurised fuel tank on a hot summers day.


It is not wise to remove the canister, there is no performance to be gained from bypassing or removing it.

[EVLGTR]

Yes there is performance gain by removing the charcoal canister. WEIGHT LOSS.
