I kept everything with the original tank. I threw away the charcoal canister and just bent the metal vent line facing downward. Did it to this 72 and on my last 71 I put a new tank with a sump and did away with the canister as well.

no problems with doing this? i was thinking of doing it as well, but i heard something about it preventing gas odor from escaping, so i never did itI kept everything with the original tank. I threw away the charcoal canister and just bent the metal vent line facing downward. Did it to this 72 and on my last 71 I put a new tank with a sump and did away with the canister as well.
..i know the line leads to the gas tank right?
No problems and no odors. I just use the original gas cap as well. Done it on my last 71 also like stated.
ahh well that is good to know :yes: so what exactly needs to be done in order to remove it?No problems and no odors. I just use the original gas cap as well. Done it on my last 71 also like stated.
Instead of throwing them away send it to me, I will need the canister and the bracket, I'll pay the shipping. Here in the desert it keeps the fumes from collecting in the garage.
Gets to be around a 100 degrees here in my garage where the car stays and no fumes at all.:yes:
Mine gets way over that unless I keep the cooler running 24/7. Then it stays about 90°. The crap gas we have here vaporizes much quicker than real gas does.
I hear you Phillip. I would have given this one to you, but when I sold the engine and hood($500) that was in my 72 the guy took the cannister and all extras that I didn't want.Mine gets way over that unless I keep the cooler running 24/7. Then it stays about 90°. The crap gas we have here vaporizes much quicker than real gas does.
