DO NOT PLUG IT, i just ran a hose from the vent side under the car. but do not plug it, ive heard of dangerous pressure building up before, with not so very good results. it basiclly vents your gas tank.

yes i can personally vouch for that. during the summer you will build up alot of pressure in the fuel tank especailly after you shut the engine off.



another reason not to plug is you will also build vacuum. in cool temps or on long trips, as fuel is used, you will create enough vacuum to overcome your fuel pump and your engine will run real bad and eventually stall.

yes, i have a friend who has no face now, because his charcoal canister was blocked, he disconnected the canister one hot summer day and had a cigarette in his mouth....

has no nose and an IQ now of a five year old, granted it wasnt on an RX-7, but still, dont block it buddy just run a hose pointing down to the ground away from everything, near the tire perhaps, mines similar.

I was thinking of pulling it on the turbo project once I get a car to do it on and just run a K&N breather filter on it.Sure beats that god awfull canister.
