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

Return line is not necessary, but what it does if you pipe it through a regulator is supposedly supply cold fuel to the carbs.

You have a port (maybe) on your fan housing that you can tap supply air from and send to the charcoal canister. If you still have the plastic lines running thru the driver's side rocker, it's an easy hookup. The return line from the canister would then tap into your aircleaner to burn the vapors.

Hookup was small hose from the tank to the expansion chamber to the charcoal canister. Charcoal absorbs the vapors. Air blown thru it takes the vapors back to the engine.
