the charcol canister filters fuel vapour( afaik it runs back to the fuel tank and keeps pressure consistant) ~ part of emissions control.
You carby should already have one ?!?

i think you'll allrady have one
some carbys do
might be model specific
pretty shure this stops fule evaporation from your fule tank and some other stuff as well maybe

Ever walked past a pre-1975 car and smelt fuel?? It is the fuel vapours escaping... used to cause a few explosions when people dropped ciggies next to the car!

Carbon canister basically absorbs petrol vapours from the tank and when a vacuum is applied, will release the vapours into the inlet manifold/throttle body for normal combustion.
