Delete carbon canister

[nip]

How do people delete the carbon canister, with mine the pipe that goes to the blue n90 o think it's called is no longer connected theres a pipe that runs through the sill that goes into the bottom of the canister. I can't see where the other pipe goes so how do I delete it?
Can I just chop off the 2 pipes from the top and take the canister out of so people are saying about venting the tank if I leave the pipe that runs through the sill open would that be ok

Why would you want to do that, it's there for a purpose?

You need to leave the solenoid connected to ensure no fault codes but the 25 year old carbon won't be doing much now..

Cheers mate I run read its not been connected ever since we ran reverse inlet, is it a case of just disconecting the 3 pipes

[DJones]

Yes you can remove it all just leave the solenoid plugged in.

As Darren said I couldn't imagine the kit was actually achieving much after so many years so I binned it all.
I vent my tank through a stainless mesh filter behind the rear bumper. Even then I'm not sure it vents correctly as I think the rollover valve is seized - the tank always makes a "tish" when opening the filler cap.

Cheers Alex, so if I don't vent anything and leave the pipes open it won't cause a problem, I'm not too bothered about the smell of fuel as I get a whif now and again the bottom pipe that goes to to sill wasn't even connected so I recon it was coming from there

That is one of the main reasons for it, it manages the pressure of petrol vapour in the fuel tank. Worst case if not done properly is that your fuel tank collapses as it empties.
As for the effective lifetime of the carbon canister I've no idea (though it should be quite long), but it will still do most of its work anyway and doesn't slow your car down, unless you want to save that little bit of weight?

I don't wanna save weight, I just can't find the bolts that bolt it up if someone can give me a part number il re bolt it up

It gives useful space in a very tight engine bay... I wouldn't bother reconnecting it...

All done 👍

You can cut connector, solder in resistor and bin solenoid too.

Mines not connected anyway cheers

Mines not connected anyway cheers

If it's not connected it will generate an error code. Not sure if the code will impact performance?
