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 |

I got most of my gas smell off the top gasket on the fuel tank which you replaced.
You just don't hear about replacing the charcoal canister which leads me to think it doesn't go away too fast. I would think persistent gas fumes would be tank still, residual, or a vacuum link leak... |
