How to plug vapor system?, Until I can source a charcoal canister Options

[narino]

So I've been getting a lot of 'smell' in the car. After some digging here I figured I'd start with plugging up the vapor system. When I got my 72 she never had the charcoal canister so I'm just trying to find the easiest solution till i can source a canister and run the lines correctly.

Pat I'm going to borrow your pic as I dont' have one of my car readily available. In the pic can i plug the expansion tank at that location?

Also, where does the the other hose i've marked lead to?

TIA

The big hose on the passenger's side simply dumps onto the ground. I would leave the small one disconnected and simply let it vent for the time being. If you don't fill your tank to the top, you probably won't have a real problem.

You might try putting an ad up in the parts wanted section. I imagine that some of the folks that have converted their cars into track cars may have some of these tanks available. If not, Auto Atlanta or one of the other used parts dealers should be able to hook you up. One does forget how much gasoline smell is present as most of today's cars have sealed systems (with EFI and the other vapor recovery devices).
