Fuel/Expansion Tank and Charcoal Cannister, A couple of questions Options

[phillstek]

I am currently rebuilding the car after sitting in the shed for 11 years and part of the process includes refurbing the fuel system.

The fuel tank has been cleaned internally and powder coated externally.

I was wondering if I could just leave the expansion tank and cannister off when re-installing the tank?

The car is not a going to be my daily driver and I will never fill the tank to the brim. I would block the line to the ex tank.

Is this dangerous? What are the risks if I don't re-install these parts?

While on the subject, what is the best, safest, most reliable fuel delivery system for my car?

I have a 2.4 six running 40 IDA's and I'll be using Racer Chris' SS lines.

Do I have to run the return line or can I use just the feed line?

What is the best fuel pump to use and do I have to use a pressure regulator?

Thanks,

Phil

Thanks for the replies. I'm definitely going to re-install the ex-tank and can now.

As I'm running a 911 motor, should I just vent the can outlet with a plastic pipe back under the fuel tank and out of the body where the rack comes through? Or down the side under the sill and into the air cleaner or what?

1972 MY cars don't get smog tested here and only fail inspection due to oil smoke/leaks (via a visual check).

Is the fuel return line from the pump back to the tank vital? I've only had a send line since converting to a 6 (blocking the inlet at tank). Is this dangerous/stupid?

Thanks again,

Phil
