Charcoal Canister/ Engine Bay cleanup...

[RiyadYar]

will removing the CC create a gas smell. because since i bought my supra their's been a gasoline smell evertime i drive it. i thought it was caus e i had no cat. but could it be because i have no CC?

That's one possibility.

After you shut the car off, use your nose and smell for any gas around the fuel rail/lines...

Finally, for those in California pressure testing of the EVAP system up to but not including the cannister is now required on the smog test, beginning this year.

Is this already in place? I had a smog two weeks ago and the tech tested the cap, but I didn't notice him pressurize the tank?

I STILL dont understand why people remove it.

Its not a HUGE blatant eyesore. Paint it if yours looks crappy. Thats what I did

The fine print says 76-96 model year vehicles only. This was a 2000 Volvo. I guess I'll see this next year when the Supra goes in.

Yeah, doesn't apply in that case. I was assuming you had the Supra tested. Before you go in borrow a Magnehelic from the guys at work, bust loose the line at the EVAP cannister and put, I dunno, say 30 or so inches H20 in there. If it holds you're good. A slack tube will also work. Cheap enough to make

ok johnathon ill do that tomorrow. if i do smell gas what does that tell me?

 

[applesauce]

Okay, I will keep it. That sounds like the smarter thing to do. I will find a way to clean it all up. Thanks again for the input, and im glad some other folks had there questions satisfied also.
