I decided to spruce up my fan housing during my rebuild. I noticed what looked like a copper tube sticking out of the side. Well I guess it used to stick out. But someone cut it off nice and flush. It deformed a bit and half way closed up the approx 3/8" dia hole. I did some research and found that that pipe would lead to the charcoal canister. Well mine did not come with a charcoal canister. There is no evidence that one was ever mounted either.
'75 1.8 liter with L-jet injection. Engine was dead when I bought it, so I have never seen it run. Hence the question, did they all have the canister? Thanks, Clark |

Bugs had them I know in 72 and my 75 has one. Thats how they trapped the tank fumes and it purged the tank after the motor warmed up. The vaccum hose went to a heat operated valve that open when the motor warmed up. On the 72 bug the valve was on the aircleaner. I don't know where it is on the 75. I hadn't thought about it before.
