charcoal canister
 

what is the purpose of a charcoal canister? i have hurd of people removing the charcole canister, how do you do this? should i just cut the vacuum hoses and block them up and take it out. is there anyother kind of emissions parts i can take off my car that wont effect my engine in a bad way.

There was a HUGE discussion about this on SF. Short story, the Charcoal canster is an emissions device which accumulates fuel vapor until the engine is ready for it, then the vapor is mixed with fresh air and drawn into the engine... Nothing bad about that. Letting your fuel evaorate and vent to the atmosphere is just typically ignorance at it's best.

As for why people do it?
A) They have no clue how it really functions.
B) Their buddy said it was "BAD".
C) They have more than enough money that they don't need to worry about paying for fuel that'll never get used.
D) They're evil.

If anything pickup a smaller charcoal canister and relocate it to the inside of the tire well.

FYI - Evaporative emissions contain far more toxins than uncatalized exhaust!

It's not easy being Green.
