How to remove charcoal canister and not get CEL?

[Kroggers]

OK Brad, had some more good progress in the garage already today and now I am stuck and have some questions for you regarding the charcoal canister and the related connections

I will start by saying I was surprised as to how heavy the charcoal canister is - glad to have that removed from the car!

But now that the canister is gone, I have two lines I am not sure what to do with.

The one marked with the red arrow I have figured out to be the breather on the top of the fuel level sender stuck in the top of the tank and the one I want to keep unplugged to make sure the tank is venting properly.

But the other two I am not sure about. Where do these go and what do I do with them. Should they be left open or should they be blocked off.



Thank you for your time and assistance

I have been looking a bit closer on the diagrams for the breather system and the charcoal canister, and I am starting to think the two lines (green and blue arrow) should be connected together.

This is based on the fact that they both connect to the canister, and as such are linked together. By removing the canister, I obviously need to connect them directly to each other - anyone see any errors in my logic???

Hey Kroggers, I would be interested to know what you finally ended up doing with the pieces that remained. It's the last piece of unused/unneccessary weight left in my car.

i have a copy of an e-book about the bosch motronic system that shows what the various fuel lines do, but it is huge (85M) and won't email. if you have a place i can upload to then i could do that. otherwise, the three lines are (*i think*):

- fuel tank vent (you can vent to lower wheel well)
- atmospheric pressure (delete)
- sai feed (deletes when you remove sai)

i also thought about deleting the canister but, unless it is to be a dedicated track car, apparently your garage is going to stink of gas as your tank vents to atmosphere (ie, won't work for my street/track build).

Thank you both. Just what I needed. I think.
