Author Topic: Charcoal canister kuku93 ¯ Member # 14014 posted                              Question about the charcoal canister. Do you really need that or is just for emissions? Posts: 154 | Registered: Apr 2015  |  : ALMOST STOCK ¯ Member # 10085 posted                              The charcoal canister draws fuel vapor from the tank through the activated carbon where it is drawn into the engine and consumed. There is nothing to gain here by removing this other than looks...and it's not really that noticeable. To properly remove it, you need to install a vented gas cap and then trim the line running from the tank and position it so the explosive gas vapor can discharge in a well ventilated area.
