[mk3ftMFw]

Can i bypass it? Its like packed with coal for emissions right?


p.s. No emissions in Ohio.

From what I understand that charcoal canister is venting the fuel tank through the engines vacuum. I have heard of people bypassing it, but they get the smell of fuel inside there car. Most people get a charcoal canister from honda and use it since it's the size of your oil filter.

P.S. emissions in all states. Enforcement not in all states.

i have also had mine out for a while with no ill effects. i would plug the vaccum lines though. you can also get rid of the egr valve. it's just emmisions crap the car doesn't need.

Do NOT plug the fuel vent hardline on the firewall. It is there to let your tank breathe, and if you plug it without having a vented gas cap, you can build up pressure. Don't just leave it open though, because venting fuel vapor right next to a hot turbo is not a good idea either. Do one of the following:

1) Extend the line to somewhere in the fender, away from the hot engine.
2) Get a vented gas cap (or drill a hole in yours) and plug the hardline. Please note, I know in NJ they check your gas cap when you go for inspection, and a vented cap will NOT pass. Just givin you a heads up.

we have no e-check what so ever. So it can be bypassed good, less weight to worry about.

You can also shorten the hard line to get it out of the engine bay and away from you tires (errosion of the rubber from the fumes).

Theres little hole in the fender with a rubber grommet where the charcoal canister vents. I just extended the line with somem vacuum hose and vented it there. And yes, plug the vac. line that comes off the manifold.

Works for me, haven't smelled gas ever and doesn't pressurize the tank.
