Hi Guys,

I finally got around to refreshing the charcoal canister on my '74. Now I don't smell gas in the cabin anymore. Well, the petrol kind anyway.

Enjoy!

Will a charcoal canister help much on a six conversion with carbs? Did original sixes have them?

This looks like a fun, easy restore, but only if I am going to need it in the future.

Thanks for posting!

Having a 6 conversion with carbs, in a word, nope.

This is great to know that this can be done. Minimizing the smell of my cars in my garage is something I appreciate.

I am curious how these pellets would ever wear out? I thought the charcoal released any absorbed fumes as the engine ran.

Does the charcoal loose this ability over time or too many cycles?

My question is out of technical curiosity. The cost of this is refresh is delightfully affordable.

It's a one-way trip. Carbon works by adsorption where vapor molecules are trapped in the carbon. The amount of vapor it can adsorb is huge, but not unlimited. Once that capacity is reached, it no longer does it's job.

They'd probably make a great fire starter.

I did some reading on EVAP systems and it certainly reads to me like the charcoal releases the absorbed lighter hydrocarbons when the engine is running and the purge valve is open. (I dont think that applies to any 914s).

This is why these canisters are plumbed back into the intake so that the fumes are burned.

In any case refreshing the charcoal is on my to do list and the old will become fire starter as suggested...

I don't know if it's true, but what I read is that when it's full, time will let the hydrocarbons evaporate off and basically refresh the carbon.
