Hello,

I'd like te remove the canister system on my late 75 914.

I don't know how to remove it.

Is it difficult ?

I need your help.

Thanks

Have tools will wrench...

Just start removing the parts of the system.

The hoses from the front to the rear are under the driver's side exterior skirt or valance. This thing will need to be removed too.

Don't cut your fingers & you might want to wear safety glasses.

If you can't figure out how to remove something, perhaps you shouldn't. It's not going to make your car faster either way, so leave it alone until you KNOW it. So, why do you want to remove it?

You will be smelling gas fumes if you do. Not a good idea.

I agree with bdstone914. You will be smelling gas vapors with the canister removed. It's sole purpose is to catch fuel vapors, store them and then reburn them in the air intake system. You can disassemble the canister and add new carbon pellets if you want to, but I would not remove it.

On a 75, there is a small line in the center tunnel that goes from the fuel breather tank to the charcoal canister. The 70-early 74 cars have the two larger lines in the driver's rocker panel.

I agree with the above advice: Don't remove it. It does nothing to hurt the car, it helps keep fuel vapor down, and it's good for the air. Win all the way around, to me!

i second that.

those cans single handedly knock out 1/2 the hydrocarbon emissions - with zero effect on performance. they discovered that way back in 1969. they went after the other half after 1969 with ever increasing negative effects on performance, but the can isn't one of them. its an all-round good guy. ------->it might be delivering a 0.5hp boost due to fume injection.

Now don’t start that rumor Wonki. Pretty soon some people will want to believe they can supercharge that extra fuel vapor by running it through the heater fan.

In my first years of teenage, I removed EVERYTHING non essential. Including all this, and every other widget from the engine bay... (all the smog shit, the pump, plug the hole, delete the csv, aar, yada yada)
Sigh. We all have to go through it, right?
If only we could save you time...

Good on you mate
