Had the parts forever; just finally found some time to install the stuff.
One day I decided to walk the local salvage yard in search for the smallest charcoal canister. I found it in a small Kia (Sophia I believe; but it was awhile ago). The CC had a nice 2 bolt slide on bracket that was really nice too. The cc doesn't have a check valve; so I did my research and source an inline check valve from Generant with a 3psi crack pressure.
Install was fairly straight forward. I cut the tank vent hardline at the bottom of the firewall with a dremel reinforced wheel (*Note; my car has been sittining for years with no gas in the tank, and the gas tank was even dropped recently to install a Denso pump; so there were no stray gasoline fumes present in the system. Be careful not to produce a spark if you have a running vehicle; whether there's fuel in the tank or not).
I ran a rubber line through the driverside fender by the master cylinder.
I then ran the line along the inside of the driver side fender.
Then back into the engine bay by the battery tray and back out by the front of the engine bay.
I installed the inline check valve right before the canister and then ran the exit line out the bumper support.
And that's it. Done clean, done right. Hope I helped a few fellow members out; as this topic pops-up monthly.
