Aftermarket Charcoal Canister -- Tech Tip WANTED
Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2017 2:03 pm
Has anyone installed an aftermarket charcoal canister on the fuel tank? The Lincoln and the El Camino both have their tanks vented to the air and the new fuel stinks up the garage.
I'm finding advice to use a two port canister with input from the tank vent and output to engine vacuum, either ported or manifold. Seems to me either of these would put 15-20 In Hg vacuum on the tank when cruising. I'm thinking it would be better to run the output from the canister to the air cleaner which would put just a little vacuum on the fuel tank. But, can't find anyone who has done that. Am I missing something?
Anyone added an aftermarket charcoal canister?
