I have a 73 2.0 FI engine and I am wondering if I need the expansion take and/or charcoal cannister? If I can remove these than what do I do about the openings in my air intake for the charcoal cannister? And can someone please explain the purpose and what the charcoal cannister actually does please?

It is optimal to keep them on your car. The charcoal canister is designed to take away the fuel smell as the hose that lead to it come from the fuel tank then route under on the side of the car to the motor; further venting the fumes. The expansion tank takes any fuel sloshing and some fumes in as well (too my understanding not an expert what I have heard)
I wish mine had that system still. The PO took all of it off. Don't know why. All that original fuel line routed under on the side of car is not cheap. Why do you want to remove them? |
