charcoal canister bypass.

[ThisGuy310]

Has anyone bypassed the charcoal canister by connecting the line from under the throttle body directly to the line that goes back to the tank?

Any problem with doing this? Will it pressurize the tank?

My canister is shot and I don't see the value in buying a new one.

why dont you remove your air filter too? probably a good idea to remove the fuel filter as well. that way both fuel and air can get into the engine easier.

remember, less restriction means more horsepower. so try to remove all the superfluous bullshit in the engine bay.

Yes you can do that. But a better approach would be to replace the canister with a new part or a good used part (which would be cheaper).

Yes that is exactly what I am trying to do. In addition to removing the air and fuel filter, I've also removed the FPR, and entire intake box and flow meter leaving the throttle body open directly to atmosphere for more power.

What benefit is the canister providing?

The cannister traps fuel vapors from the tank, which are later pulled into the intake and burned. It is solely an emissions control feature.

Thanks, appreciate your input in both threads.
