What to do with vent line??

Ok, the vent line from the fuel tank that goes to the carbon canister, what should I do with it? Cut it off? Leave it there? Plug it up? I chunked the canister so I won't be needing it....

Any help would be appreciated....

Definitely plug it, to be on the safe side...I went for a test cruise a while back, and left mine open & if I didn't leave a two mile line of gas I'm lucky It didn't catch.
I don't know why it was pushing gas out? But I did have a HD Mechanical pump on the engine set at about 6psi???

I just put one of those vaccum caps on mine, still running a 110gph mechanical pump, but no fuel has come out yet.

i used some rubber fuel line and clamped it to the return line. Then I pushed in a piece of pipe that's used as a 3/8" block off and then clamped that down as well.
