Charcoal cannister removal

corrosivecopper · 07-26-2009, 05:34 PM

Hello everybody! I'm new to this world of forums, as well being a first time Supra owner. I've got an 87 Supra with turbo and targa top, a couple adds already on, namely suspension. Been checking things out here and around and there is some great advice. Perhaps I missed it, but I'm looking for ways to remove the cannister, as well as cruise control and A/C parts. What vac lines do ya plug off when removing the cannister? Diagrams perhaps? Thanks, Cori

The charcoal canister is part of your emissions control system, and it helps maintain a slight amount of pressure (2 lbs iirc) in your gas tank which assists your fuel pump. I wouldn't remove it any more than I would remove the EGR system in our vehicles. If nothing else replace with a smaller version and hide it out of the way.

Cool, thanks! I noticed alot of people talking about removing it, but I'd rather keep it there too. A/C and cruise control is still going though lol. Thanks again
