I've just noticed the hoses from the charcoal canister to the engine have been cut (down in the front fender well). Is it necessary to replace these or can I get rid of the canister and hoses? Do I just plug the connections in the fan shroud and air intake if I do get rid of it?

After doing a bit of research it seems the canister keeps the gas smell out. So I think I will keep it. But I need to fix the lines.
Anyone got a source for the 12mm plastic line that goes along the rocker panel into the engine compartment? Couldn't find it at pelican. Could I just use fuel line? |
