Ok so in a continued effort to continue & unclutter my engie bay I'm in the process of removing the canister. I've already done the smog pump, air tubes, etc...

So today I remove the canister & to my surprise one of the lines I thought was a vacuum line has gas??? Here is a pic:


The valve I am pointing to went to a rubber line that is clamped into a metal line. To my surprise, that valve goes to a fuel line???? Can I still remove the canister, do I just plug the fuel line? It does not look presurized....PLEASE help! Thanks!!!

PS The top long line goes into the TBI; I just plugged that one at the TBI base.

 

That's what vents your fuel tank.

Removing the canister is the point where I have to draw the line in a "declutter".

 

I did some research & I guess the solution is capping the fuel line & getting a vented fuel cap. However, I've hit 3 part stores & no luck (on the fuel cap). So I may be with you five7kid, it may be more trouble than it's worth. I still have all the components & would take me 5 minutes to put it all back....

 

picked up my vented cap at walmart. they had it in stock in the automotive section

 

Thanks!!!

 

well... you can always do what I am doing... I moved my battery to a different location, removed my rad over flow and am making another canister to mimic the vapor canister so I have one on matching sides of my engine bay which actually will improve the look and somewhat de-clutter the engine bay by a bit.

 

Post pics when your done!!!

 

yea I sure will. I also did some other things to the car to clean it up. Tore out the fan motor and AC and make a LARGE delete panel that covers the whole passenger side from the middle of the fire wall over. also made a couple of delete panels for the sides where the battery box was and where the charcoal canister is now. Really cleans things up by hiding the inner fenders.

PMing you pics
