Do you guys keep this stuff ibn your cars or do most of you remove this stuff?

Note: I am in VA and since my car is a 1972 I don't have emissions.

Right now it's out. Because I had to weld up some of the longs and door sill. I now smell gas every now and then. Where before I never did.

I had that happen on the track car when we first "completed" it some 18 years ago.

What I found was that I had to reinstall the expansion chamber for the gas tank. That allows the fuel to be stored in the "expansion" tank instead of leaking out the breather in the filler neak.

We found that under hard cornering, that gas would drain out the breather. It happened more with a full tank, but would still happen with 1/2 tank or less in some cases.

After reinstalling the expansion tank, all has been well. After a run session, as the gas in the tank cools off, you can hear gurgling as the gas is drawn back into the fuel tank from the expansion tank.


As far as the charcoal can, I kept the one mounted in the front trunk in my street car as it "looks" like it belongs there. The tubing is routed back behind the rocker panel as it should, but mine ends there. I have eliminated the hoses past that point due to ignorance in my youth. They didn't hurt anything to leave them in place.

just my $0.02
